I always make these cookies for family gatherings, and they never last very long. They require a little extra effort, but they're worth it. —Marie Kinyon, Mason, Michigan

I tried my first batch with the thick frosting on top as they baked. I wasn't happy with the appearance, so next I just baked the cookie with the cherry on top. After removing them from the pan (only 1-2 minutes of cooling time) I used a small scoop to put a teaspoon of frosting on each cookie, and spread it out. They look great and taste like fudge with a cherry surprise! Yum.

These cookies were tremendous! Soft like fudge and very easy to make! Will not wait til Christmas to make them again!

Ok...this cookie sound fabulous and I'd like to try it, but....I gotta know, HOW does the frosting not run off onto the pan if the frosting is put on BEFORE baking??

I made these for the church coffee hour and they were well liked. People were surprised when they bit into the cherry! I wondered how the icing would turn out and it was great. I baked mine in a convection oven for 10 mins. at 350° and was pleased with the outcome. I would make them again.

These cookies turned out great!! Everyone loved them!! I did double the cookie part of the recipe though because I had a whole bunch of frosting leftover. Also, I froze them and took them out as needed for Christmas parties and they were fine. I just froze them between layers of waxed paper.

Made these yesterday...delicious and easy if time consuming. My cookies turned out to be like fudgy brownies. I have a serious sweet tooth that is hard to control during Christmas. This frosting recipe is so easy and delicious. Did not melt during baking but I may have left them in too long, frosting looked dry but was soft when I tasted them. Really good recipe.

The cookie part turned out fine but the frosting turned to hard candy. I will try to tweek the frosting next time, it's too thin. I followed the directions. I even have an oven thermometer so I know the oven was the right temperature.

Followed recipe to a tee, epic fail! Frosting completely melted all over the cookie onto the baking sheet. Cookies flattened out. Pretty much ruined every cookie trying to get them off of the pans. Only saving grace was the taste, as long as you don't mind eating tour cookies with with a spoon!

Everyone's favorite cookie this year. I had better luck frosting the cookie AFTER baking and placed 1/2 of cherry on top. I also added halved cherries into the batter.
