I needed a cookie to go along with lunch so I made these Cherry Pie White Chocolate Chips Cookies! #luckybakes 
Last week my husband spontaneously invited some co-workers over to lunch. I love to cook and host lunches or dinner parties so I thought sure why not!
What I do have a problem with is stress. I need things to run smoothly and perfectly and I get myself all worked up ( and everyone around me) and then of course everything goes off with a hitch and it was a success!
When I do host something the first thing I think of is dessert! So I made cookies. Well they were just okay. I needed them to be great! I originally made these using the recipe from my M&M Marshmallow Cookies. I followed it almost exactly but it didn’t quite work with the cherry pie filling. So I went back to the drawing board and tweaked the recipe. Success. It happened again! And it tasted great! These cookies have cherry pie filling in them and Greek yogurt so they are super moist on the inside with a little crunch on the outside. I went with using a little shortening this time instead of butter. I really just didn’t want my cookies to expand too much like they did the first time. Seriously guys they were flat, super flat. We can not have that in a cookie. To top it all off I added white chocolate chips. They mix well with cherries and the flavor is wonderful! So go make these and ENJOY!!
