Soft-Baked Dark Cherry Chocolate Chip Cookies {Paleo + Vegan option}

Soft-Baked Dark Cherry Chocolate Chip Cookies are a healthier twist off of the classic cookie!  Super easy to make, only 8 ingredients and Paleo & Vegan friendly!

Mmmmmm I love me some chocolate chip cookies. It’s such a classic cookie and it will never go outta style.

I’ve always loved chocolate + dark cherry combo, so I added fresh chopped cherries to the mix. Wowza they’re good.

I also love this recipe base because these cookies come out like clouds (in a fantastic way). They are super soft and moist, just how I like ’em. If you only like crispy cookies, these are NOT for you. But don’t let that stop you from making them! I hope you enjoy 🙂
