I’ve shared so, so, so, soooo many of my recipes throughout my cookbooks, food company projects, social media, and this blog; but my favorite plant-based chocolate chip cookies recipe is one that I’ve been holding on to for some reason.

This dark chocolate cherry martini is like an indulgent milkshake and a cocktail all in one! You actually get a triple delight of chocolate from the chocolate liqueur, white crème de cacao, and shaved dark chocolate rim.
