Cookie #15, is submitted for your consideration by my very own Ike. Ike made and entered these cookies into a little fall fair close by our neighbourhood. He has been entering cookies and other items into this fall fair for four years now, and this is his 3rd first place cookie submission. It is not clear from the photo, bur they are a chocolate drop cookie filled with white chocolate chips and dried tart cherries. They are soft, chewy and chocolaty.....all very good qualities for a cookie....I think. If you like chocolate cookies....this might be just right for you! Give them a try......Ike thinks you'll like them. Ike sold 100 of these cookies along with about another 100 Ginger Sparkles at a cookie stand this summer to raise money for Cub Scouts outtings.
