Tart cherries and dark chocolate meet in this chewy sweet cookie. I made these for my husband’s office last week. I wanted to send in something a little different from the usual and these were a great choice.

The hint of almond flavor is unexpected and it works perfectly with the cherries and the chocolate.

We’ve loved crinkle cookies for years; they are the ultimate “crisp on the outside with a soft chewy center” cookie. I regularly make cinnamon crinkle cookies and lemon crinkle cookies.

      Xantham gum improves the texture of certain gluten free foods. It isn't needed for the traditional version of these cookies. Thanks for asking, I had forgotten to mark it with the other GF items!

    This gluten free cookies are so original! I love the idea of adding all of those flavors together and the pictures look just as good as they sound. I am going to have to try this recipe for my family for Thanksgiving. Thank you for the post and for sharing!

      Coconut flour is very dry and it absorbs a great deal of moisture. I have no idea how that conversion would work for this recipe without testing it myself. If you decide to try it, let me know how it works out!
