CHOCOLATE CHIP-CHERRY CHUNK COOKIES
My grandmas and mom created this recipe with chocolate chips, cherries and spices, a combo of their favorite parts of different cookies. Then dad made ice cream to turn them into ice cream sandwiches. We'd eat these sandwiches in the summer heat, each bite cooling us as the ice cream melted down our arms. -Wade Rouse, Fennville, Michigan.

Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate chunks for the best flavor. Semi-sweet or bittersweet chocolate works well.
- Don't overmix the dough, or the cookies will be tough.
- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
- Bake the cookies until the edges are just beginning to brown. Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

These cherry chocolate chunk cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. They're perfect for any occasion, from a casual get-together to a special holiday party. With their chewy texture, rich chocolate flavor, and sweet cherries, these cookies are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
