Cherries again, Juli? Really? So creative. My b.
You guys, I shopped yesterday for jeans and found the greatest pairs ever. You have to check out my post tomorrow because they are freaking awesome and for only $50ish. I’m bouncing with excitement. Thanks for caring. Wait, you don’t? Crap.
So Jackson is getting quite clever at his age of 6 months. The other night, we left for dinner and left Jackson out of his crate which we have been doing for a while now. The only thing that has happened so far was Jackson knocked over a cup of coffee on our coffee table and licked it all up and pretty much pissed everywhere and went insane since he was bubbling up inside with caffeine. BUT, that was my fault. This time around, when we came home from dinner, we couldn’t find him for a second. Until we heard some movement on our dining table. And understand that our dining table is bar height, so it’s not a normal short table. So he hopped onto one of the high chairs, then the table, then he got stuck up there and decided to nap on the table. The poor kid didn’t know if he was in trouble or if we were impressed when we came home. He didn’t want to look us in the eye. I was honestly impressed. He’s just such a curious little guy.
Speaking of 6 months, I posted a picture on instagram of Jackson sitting on his balls. Because it was hilarious. Probably since I don’t have balls so anything with balls is just a real hoot. Anyways, after I posted that picture, people started commenting about how I need to get him neutered and the earlier the better. Here’s the thing, we’re cutting those little guys off soon, even though it’s none of their business, but you don’t see me posting on their instagram about making sure they circumcise their children. Um, no. Because that would be weird. Nor do I comment to people on the street about cutting their dog’s balls off. That would just be rude. I guess people on instagram are just weird and rude.
Man, are people going to be pissed about that last paragraph. And circumcision.
Hmmmm. How in the hell do I transition now.

Delicious recipe! I made it even more self indulgent by adding unsweetened cocoa powder (1/3 cup).
I love cherry and chocolate and almonds, so this is the right combo for me. What type of almond butter do you use in your baking? Raw? Roasted? Creamy? Chunky? With salt? I would be buying for baking as we don’t eat much nut butter. Thanks for all the wonderful recipes. And the new jeans brand!
These were delicious and easy and awesome! Paired excellent with a kale smoothie for dinner! Yay!
I think your fans feel like they’re real friends of yours because you share your personal stories with them. I think it’s innocent the way people want to share their own opinions and stories back with you. If people are being rude or mean though, that’s another story and you know the rest of us will squash that! 🙂
These cookies are delicious…yet, they don’t hold up very long. I added 2 Tb. coconut flour which helped a little. Any suggestions.
what do you mean hold up very long?
Great recipe! I used cacao nibs and dried cherries and they were delicious! Thank you Juli!!
Yours turned out nice and fat, mine spread out and are super duper thin. Any ideas why? I didn’t substitute anything.

REPOSTING, because I am not sure why my comment is showing under someone elses as a reply.
not sure. what almond butter did you use?
All they had at the store I went that day was MaraNatha All Natural Raw Almond Butter Creamy. Ingredient list is: Raw Almonds.
Which one do you use?
— Dalis
I used maranatha roasted almond butter
I will see if I can find that one. I will drop my thermometer too just in case it’s too hot.
A few more questions:
1. Do you put your cookies in the center of the oven?
2. What are the ingredients of the maranatha roasted almond butter? Is it the organic one?
THANKS a million for being so wonderful and answering my questions! YOU ROCK!
— Dalis
Hooray!
I heart you and your cleverness! Can’t wait to try these….
I don’t know whether to love you or hate you for this recipe. I added 1/2 cup of shredded, unsweetened coconut and used a chopped up 90% Dark Chocolate bar instead of ‘chips’ because that’s what I had. These were up there with one of the best cookies I’ve ever eaten and that’s even before my Paleo days!! The whole family loved these!! Impossible to eat just one though (I *may* have eaten 3 or 4…don’t judge!)…and did you try the raw dough?! I know that’s bad…but OMG!!! Sinfully scrumptious!
Is there any particular age for loving chocolate cookies? There is this commonness between me and chocolates i.e. the undying love 🙂 I think the guy who claimed that we cannot buy happiness probably never had a delightful piece of chocolates. Show him this recipe and he will better understand. Thanks for sharing this visual delight, I so want to have it right now. Cherry Chocolate Chips Cookies are lovable because they conceal the healthy secrets of chocolates!
