I may be biased but I think these sundae themed cookies just came out cute as can be!! They’re inspired by the classic ice cream parlor ice cream sundae with a chocolate base twist.

I’ve taken my favorite chocolate cookie recipe (that I also use for my homemade Ferrero Rocher Cookies), and added some chopped cherries, cherry juice and dehydrated marshmallows before baking. After that I just decorated them with some classic ice cream sundae toppings, like walnuts and topped each one with it’s own cherry.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can these Cookies be made in advance?

Yes! I would say you could make them up to 4 days or maybe even 5 days in advance. Just make sure to store them in an air tight container. We stored some “test” ones in a plastic bag for a week and they were still amazing but they do get softer as the days go on.

Where is the cookie recipe??

I made this cookie recipe for the brand “Dixie Crystals”. If you look below and click the big link that says “Grab the recipe here” you’ll get the entire recipe with amounts and directions!
