This is a very old recipe from my grandma. The sweet cherry filling surprises folks trying them for the first time. —Pat Habiger, Spearville, Kansas

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!!!

I forgot to rate this, of course it is a 5!
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!

I love this cookie!!! My mother in law gave me another version of this recipe which taste good but i often had problems making them. I now use this recipe and have great results every time. My family and friends request these cookies every year at Christmas time.

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.
