Soft and chewy snickerdoodle cookies filled with dried cherries. These cookies are sweet and delicious. They are filled with tons of cherry flavor, and rolled into a mixture of cinnamon and granulated sugar. They are a delicious summer themed twist on a classic snickerdoodle cookie.
The cookie dough is made similar to a classic sugar cookie dough, except with dried cherries folded into the cookie dough. The cookies are rolled into a mixture of cinnamon and granulated sugar before baking, giving them the traditional snickerdoodle flavor. They are baked until they are fully cooked through. Let them cool completely on a cooling rack before serving.
