With my resolve to do at least a post a month on my blog, the next recipe I have is "Triple Chocolate Cranberry Cookies". This recipe is adapted from Martha Stewart, and has a rich chocolate flavor - from 3 different types of chocolate: melted unsweetened chocolate, cocoa powder and chocolate chips. The cranberries add a nice bite and a tart flavor in comparison with the rich chocolate flavor. I never would have thought that cranberries and chocolate put together would make such a divine combination, but now I know. Here is the recipe:

Verdict: What can beat chocolate, and three different kinds of chocolate in this recipe - is bound to fulfill all your chocolate cravings. The cranberries add an amazing flavor here, cutting through the richness of the chocolate. Cherry would make a great substitute for the cranberries too.
