Most of us need to eat healthier; that is why I made this cookie. Cherries have antioxidants as does dark chocolate; this contains both. Almonds and eggs are full of protein. Now, how bad can some butter, sugar, and flour be? I also added some chocolate vodka with the vanilla for some extra flavor. I can talk myself into anything. I hope you like it.
