those who had trouble with crumbling maybe did not measure exactly, maybe too much flour. thought they were great.

Did not have a problem with the dough being too dry & not holding together at all! I made the icing & put into a plunger type decorating tube, so that it would come out like the picture. Ended up with about double the icing I would have needed. Other than that, they are REALLY good.

Sorry wil try these again trying to make the dough a little bit more so it is moister than it was. Will try that. Even though they did not turn out pretty they did taste good.

These were amazing! I'm not a fan of maraschino cherries by themselves by this was a great recipe! Everyone loved them!

I'm decreasing the flour next time. They came together O.K. to bake but there was a flour aftertaste. The Mexican wedding cookie recipe I usually make uses 1 cup of butter to 2 cups of flour. Next time I will add a little cherry extract and use jumbo maraschino cherries. I don't even like cherry that much but these cookies are worth a second go around.

Dough was very dry had to add several tablespoons of milk to get dough to stick, cookies ended up turning out great. Maybe next time will add bit of the cherry juice to the dough for nice pink color. We cut the cherries in half and those made nice bite sized cookies. On a few, we even tucked chocolate chip inside the cherry for a chocolate surprise, those were ok. We really liked the ones with just the halved cherry inside and there were not many left to even frost as everyone kept eating them. The ones we did have left over for frosting, we dipped in some melted chocolate and sprinkled with ground pecans. Wow, that made it taste like chocolate covered cherry. Will make again.

I was thrilled to find this recipe. My mother made these in the 1960s and I lost her recipe. I am making them for a Christmas Party tomorrow. SO happy!

This is my new favorite cookie! They are so good! I have company coming soon, but I'm not sure the cookies will still be here when they arrive!

This is one of my daughters favorite cookies!! I leave the stems on my cherries when I make these cookies.. they look so darn cute on the cookie tray. I also make a very thin glaze with just the cherry juice & 10x sugar to dip each cookie into, making sure to set them on a wire rack to drip dry or they will get soggy on the bottom. This is one of those cookies that tastes better after it sits a couple of days.. it really is a hit!!!

My Aunt Jeanette made this last year and they were a great hit. She has made them a few times since. I think I will buy her 1 gallon of cherries this year. A great thank you gift, too!

These are just tooo cute! However, the dough kinda flattened around the cherries a little :/ Did that happen for anyone else? PLUS the frosting is easy and tasty! Mmm!

Delicious cookies!! They aren't too sweet but have just enough flavor to make them a GREAT tea cookie or cookie to go with your coffee in the morning. I also love how quick and easy these cookies are to make. I will definitely make these often!

I made this last year for my childrens teachers, but I dipped the tops in dark and white chocolate. They were a huge hit. I'm making them again this year.

These cookies were so easy to make. I made two batches for christmas. They were the first to go. They would make good Easter and Valetine cookies too.

These are wonderful cookies! The recipe was easy to make as well as eat! I made two batches and wanted to try them in chocolate. I used the same recipe and added 1/4 cup of Hershey cocoa and frosed them with a chocolate frosting. They are wonderful too!
