Each Christmas, I make about 600 cookies to share with family and friends. The holidays wouldn't be the same without several batches of these colorful goodies. —Sybil Brown, Highland, California

We found these cookies to be okay, but not great.

just made & took the 1st batch out of the oven. i had to try one right away & was not disappointed. these are very good, soft, flavorful cookies and will make a nice addition to the other cookes i am making for Christmas. i used mini choc chips instead of the regular sized ones & they are just the right amount of chocolate. will definitely keep this recipe.

I made these cookies a couple of days ago and they are delicious. They will definitely be a new favorite. The recipe states it makes 5 dozen. However, they would have to be tiny to make that many. I made what I call normal size and it made 2 dozen. Also, make sure the maraschino cherries are well drained.

Very good, soft cookie. Does not make 5 dozen, more like 3.

This is the same recipe used by my mother back in the 50's. She entered it in a bak-off contest for the PTA and won a blue ribbon. I now make them every Christmas in her honor. They are always a big hit. I use candied cherries whch give the cookie a nice chewy effect. Peggy from Norridge,IL
