Cherry Vanilla Cookies

When my co-workers birthday was coming up, I had to try to come up with something she would like as a treat. She hates chocolate, so that left out a lot of things I usually make. I remembered that she told me that her favorite ice cream flavor was cherry vanilla, so that inspired me to make cookies that had similar flavors.

These cookies are very simple and delicious. It is important that the cherries be dried as much as possible before folding them into the batter, or the juice will dye the batter a pink color.
