There are times when you think a recipe just can't get any better. It's gone beyond 'tried and true' to be a real favorite, not just a go-to but something people talk about for days after the product of said recipe is gone. The ingenious combination of chocolate chips, oats, and dried cherries in a cookie is one of those recipes for me. People never expect it, and they always rave about it once they've tried it.
But then. I tried something new with it. I know, blasphemy, but I was curious! For months, I've been watching other bloggers try the Momofuku Milk Bar Compost Cookie recipe, and I keep wanting to try it but we never have the required snack foods lying around (mostly because on the rare occasions that we do, I eat them all before I can think of doing anything else with them). But last week, I really wanted to bake something special for my porter – who'd saved me in a really horrible, ambulance-requiring moment – and I decided on my awesome cherry chocolate cookies, with a Momofuku twist.
