For Valentine's Day this year I wanted to come up with a chocolate cookie that picked up on chocolate-covered cherries. And even though I'm not a big fan of the syrupy candies, I do think tart dried cherries are the best dried fruit Mother Nature invented. So I came up with a chocolate roll-out cookie by interpolating recipes from smittenkitchen and epicurious. But for this chocoholic it was not enough; therefore I gave them a bath. In dark chocolate. Did I mention the Cointreau? The cherries get a soaking for the aromatic and softening effects. These cookies are very good on their own, but wicked good when dipped.
