These were a bit on the dry side, but overall delicious. Will definitely make again!

These cookies are fantastic. I would just make sure to chill the dough first.

These are awesome cookies. I use a store-bought decorating cookie icing which sets up quickly, so you can stack the cookies for easier transporting. They are great for any holiday. Just change the icing color and the type of sprinkles you use. You can also use green marachino cherries for St. Patrick's Day.

delicious! very flavorful! I did have a problem with the first batch looking like fried eggs. I chilled the second batch before baking, they turned out a little better. Next time I will try adding a little more flour. (Not too much, or they will be dry). I will make again, even if they don't look perfect!

Easy enough to make but, they are very dry & crumble to pieces when you take a bite.

I have an old recipe of my mom's that she used for years, but I could never get the same results she did. This recipe gives me the best little nuggets ever! I used cherries with a chocolate chip tucked inside, or just tuck 4 choc.chips inside the dough. I use a fruit scooper that give a consistent look and bake for 16 minutes. Very festive, light, tasty! So very glad to have this recipe! (I've made upwards of 8 batches so far....)

Very good. Definitely a cookie to have help with. My husband took the stems off and put a chocolate chip into each cherry, while I made the dough. These were a big hit at our church Christmas play. I am making some more tonight. Just because.

Not only is this a pretty cookie, but very good, and the surprise cherry inside adds a nice "pop" of flavor. Definitely will make again.

Not a fan of these cookies...tasted somewhat good, but too time consuming to roll all those balls.

I was surprised and pleased to see the bon bon cookie recipe! My family has also been making these at Christmas for years and years, but have never known anyone else to have the recipe. They are also good to make for events like showers or weddings. Just make a powedered sugar frosting using fresh lemon juice to flavor for a fresh version of this great cookie. Then tint the frosting to pastel colors.
