Sometimes I grow tired of the same old chocolate chip cookies. Using this recipe was a great way to spice things up. If you choose to use the vanilla chips in conjunction with the dried tart cherries offers a slightly tart refreshing taste in the cookies. The variation of flavor in the cookie is a pleasant surprise.
