Pineapple Cherry White Chocolate Chip Cookies

I love to bake but for some reason cookies are my least favorite dessert item to make. I think it's because I like something I can put in the oven and walk away from for 25-30 minutes. I tend to burn cookies, especially now that I am down to one cookie sheet. I got a silicone baking mat a few years ago and it has helped a lot.

I love trying new recipes, however. Especially ones that leave room for controlled experimentation. What I don't love are recipes embedded in websites/blogs with hundreds of ads, anecdotes, and photos. I will keep this brief-- I respect the fact that some people want a recipe without a backstory or a life saga.

Here is the link for the original recipe. I am not criticizing the blog it came from--believe me. I just thought it would be easier to link it and then explain what I did differently! Her photos are amazing and make my mouth water-- can't say the same for the picture of my finished product!

I opted for a pineapple upside down cake mix, dried cherries, and white chocolate chips. For my rental oven, 9 minutes was a perfect amount of time to bake them.

I'm far from a food blogger or food photographer! :) 

I would add more cherries next time too!
