Chocolate Cherry Baileys Cookies

I have been on a chocolate kick lately, first with these Chocolate Truffle Cookies and after that I brought you Cognac Caramel Brownies, now I have another to die for dessert: Chocolate Cherry Baileys Cookies, if those four words don’t sound like happiness and love to you in cookie form, than you probably never experienced true happiness and love.

These Chocolate Cherry Baileys Cookies are to die for, since they are moist, scrumptious, chocolaty and nutty! I love everything about them, rich and irresistible. I think these cookies are insanely good, and if you never added booze to your dessert, you must definitely try it. These cookies are so fragrant and aromatic that I ended up starring at them and smelling them for a few minutes without even blinking. Weird I know, but you have to try them to understand my deep feelings for these babes.

Their texture is great, a little crumbly, but loaded with chocolate flavor. The finely chopped nuts are like beautiful specs of gold and definitely add some level nuttiness, and work in harmony with the chocolate and cherry flavors.
