Yesterday was my dad's birthday. I have the best dad in the world so I wanted to bake something extra special for him. A while ago he went to some function and raved about the White Chocolate Cherry Cookies that were served. He told me that I needed to recreate those cookies for him sometime. I thought that was a great idea but like many of the recipes I want to make, I put off making these cookies for a long time. My dad's birthday was the perfect opportunity to finally try them out.
These cookies were soft and delicious. Filled with white chocolate chips and dried cherries, they also make the perfect cookie for the upcoming holiday season. But the ultimate test of the these cookies was whether or not my dad liked them. Even though he is my dad, he has alway been my toughest food critic. He is definitely not afraid to tell me when he doesn't like a recipe that I make. Luckily I picked a good recipe for his birthday because my dad loved these cookies :) Happy Birthday Dad!
