White Chocolate Cherry Chunkies....Paula Deen Style.

Who doesnt like Paula Deen and her Southern cooking? I happen to love Paula. Her food, her humor and her southerness. Most people are trying to live a heathy lifestyle, and i can understand that, but sometimes you just have to live a little. One of my weaknesses is cookies. Warm, yummy, mouthwatering cookies straight from the oven. YUM!!!! Ive made every cookie you can think of since my children were little. My oldest son is 26. So can you imagine all the cookies ive cooked in 26 years? So so many. When i came across these cookies by Paula Deen called White Chocolate Cherry Chunkies, my mouth went to watering, and i just had to try them. Let me tell you this much, honey. These cookies are to die for!!! Easy recipes are what attract me into giving them a try, and these fit the bill. White chocolate and cherry. You can only imagine. I knew something this good only could come from that famous Geogia Peach, Mrs Paula Deen.  

Do yourself and your family and friends a favor and try them for yourself. You wont be sorry!!! ENJOY
