Dark Chocolate Merlot Cookies

Submitted by Jenica Caudill, Sales Representative. She says "The joy of sneaking brownie batter and chocolate chip cookie dough while baking these are combined here. Also, you have an excuse to drink wine while baking (if you needed one). Not to mention their rich, dark, color makes them immediately awe-worthy at parties!"
