To me, there’s nothing better than chocolate… especially, dark chocolate. So, when I logged onto SMS to see what this week’s choice was, lo and behold, dark chocolate was in the title. Sweet.
Because of my obsession love with cocoa, I subbed dark chocolate chips for the semi-sweet ones. It seems I have fresh berries coming out of my ears this month, so I also used raspberries instead of dried cherries. I like cherry flavoring, but I’m not a fan of the actual fruit. And it worked out perfectly… because raspberries + chocolate (dark, of course) = pure heaven.
What a fabulous pick – big thanks to Megan of My Baking Adventures!! Click on her blog for the recipe and don’t forget to check out the other SMS bakers here!

Oooooh you subbed in raspberries!? You’re a genius, that is such a good flavour combo! I’m totally jealous. Wish I had thought to do that!!

Wow, I bet the raspberries were delicious in these! Perhaps I’ll give it a try – they’ve just started showing up at the farmer’s markets here. I thought these were mighty tasty cookies, if a tad too sweet.

Hi Jessica!
What a fabulous idea to use raspberries! They look like they were fresh, not dried- am I right? Either way, they look fabulous and I’m glad you enjoyed them.
I’d love for you to stop by my site if you have a chance to take a look at my cookies too! Have a wonderful rest of your week and I hope to talk again after we make the next SMS recipe
