Cherry Chocolate Chip Valentine’s Day Cookies

Cherry chocolate chip cookies are the favorite around here. Made with real chunks of maraschino cherries and cherry chip cake mix, your family will LOVE these! They are a Valentine’s Day tradition, which is why I’m sharing them with you now.

Actually, these cookies are a favorite of mine since I have a love affair with maraschino cherries – just ask my mom about the time I opened the jars and drank out all the juice when I was a kid. My young self determined that if the cherries were still in the jar, it wouldn’t be that noticeable that I had decided to drink all the juice, right?!
