It is not black forest. But it has the 2 main elements in this recipe, cherry and chocolate. I made these cheery chocolate chip cookies around Christmas 2019 and brought them to a church event. I figured the red goes with the Christmas theme.

Funny that after seeing the result, I realized that these cookies are great for many special occasions, such as New Year, Valentine's Day, Mother's Day, Fall and, of course, Christmas.

CHEF NOTES

Either yellow or white cake mix works for this recipe. If you use white cake mix, the color will come out a bit lighter though.

Store cookies in a glass container for up to 2 weeks.
