This week's Sweet Melissa Sundays challenge was hosted by Megan of My Baking Adventures. Check her blog for the recipe!When I made this recipe I split the batch in half and froze one log for future use. The first time I made the cookies, I was disappointed in the crunchiness. The instructions say to bake for 15 minutes... I thought that was too long. Especially since Melissa recommends that the cookies be soft.
Today I thawed my reserve cookie log and tried again, making sure to only bake for 10 minutes this time. What a difference! I actually love the cookies now. They are so soft and yummy! The combination of gooey chocolate and dried cherries was delicious. We are fighting over the last cookie now!
I'm glad you had more success with the second batch of cookies! I thought it was quite tricky to tell when the cookies were done baking since they were quite dark. Yours look terrific!
ReplyDeleteYour cookies look great. Thanks for the tip on the reduced baking time.
ReplyDeleteYeah - so much for following directions, right? I almost always underbake cookies for that reason. I guess I'm not a crunchy kind of girl!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you liked these - they are definitely worth fighting over!
Great photo! I took these out around 12 minutes and I'm glad I did, they were perfect chewy.
ReplyDeleteglad the second batch worked out- I would have over baked these too if I hadn;t waited until the last minute and read about what everyone else did!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you didn't bake them all at once, so that you could experience the cookies soft and chewy! I thought these were delicious, I'm glad you enjoyed them too.
ReplyDeleteYOur cookies look awesome! I froze one log too.
