"Double Chocolate Cherry Cookies are thick and chewy, complete with a cherry in middle and a delicious fudge topping on top! Everyone loves the flavor combination of chocolate and cherries and this recipe is the perfect blend of these two. The cookies are thick and fudgy – almost like brownies. The frosting includes a little bit of almond extract which adds to the cherry flavor of the cookies. And the fudge topping on the top? It’s absolutely decadent – and you only need three basic ingredients to make it."
