What to do with those extra fresh cherries? I thought of just eating them, but why not bake with them.... but I didn't have enough for cherry pie or cobbler, so I came up with Cherry Garcia. Ben & Jerry's Cherry Garcia is one of my favorite ice-cream. So, I decided to make my own recipe for the cookies. Well, this picture show them in a muffin cups. I guess it can be a muffin at the same time a cookie.
