SPUMONI CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

Spumoni Chocolate Chip Cookies image

This is an Italian-inspired twist on an American tradition. My family loves spumoni ice cream, so I decided I'd try to alter my chocolate chip recipe to fancy them. In this creation, cherries and pistachios liven up already delicious chocolate chip cookies.
