Cherry Chocolate Chip Cookie Crisp

This Cherry Chocolate Chip Cookie Crisp is the perfect way to use summer cherries. Fresh sweet cherries topped with a chocolate chip cookie crumble and baked until bubbly.

Do you have a favorite summer produce? Is it berries? zucchini? tomatoes? I love all of the above but there is just something about cherries. They just might be my favorite summer produce (with fresh summer tomatoes running a very close second). I always have to pick up a bag of the first crop I see in the grocery store. I love to snack on them and add them to drinks and desserts.

Pretty much anyway I can get them.

When it comes to fruity desserts, I love a good crisp topping. Most desserts that are called “crisps” or “crumbles” have a topping that is made with butter, sugar and oats. This Cherry Chocolate Chip Cookie Crisp is different, however, because instead of a traditional topping, it has a buttery CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE topping.

I know using caps on the internet signals yelling, but I just really wanted you to understand how awesome this topping is. I mean, it’s cookies. Chocolate chip cookies and butter to be exact. Sprinkled over the top of perfectly sweet cherries and then baked until golden and bubbly.

    Do you think pitted dried cherries would work? I’ve used them in brownies and the result is to die for, but I don’t want to try them in this if you think they might not work.

      I am not sure that they would work in this because you want them to release their liquid as they cook. Hope this helps!
