I first tasted these cookies during a “cookie swap” at work a few years ago. Now I make them every Christmas for our family get-together. People who haven’t had them are always delighted by the “hidden treasure” inside.

Also, after wrapping the dough, gently roll it into a ball, it helps to keep the dough around the cherry.
We enjoyed this recipe. I also drizzled the chocolate. IMPORTANT: follow the directions carefully! Gradually add the the dry ingredients, like 1/4 cup at a time until combined. If you add them too fast the dough will crumble and be difficult to work with.

Awful. The dough was way too dry and crumbly. I had to add some milk and more cherry juice to the dough to even have a prayer of being able to work with it. It was nearly impossible to get the dough around the cherries. This recipe was a lot of work with crappy results. The cookies had no flavor at all. It is a fun concept but this recipe really does not work. Another dud from Taste of Home.

Just made these cookies today and they are wonderful. I used chocolate discs that I use to make candy and they worked well with no oil needed! What a great cookie! The dough is wonderful and melts in your mouth! I'm so glad I came over this one!

This is a great little cookie. Be sure not to overbake. I did not add the shortening asked for in the recipe to the chocolate chips and they melted just fine and set up a little quicker without the added liquid. I poured the melted chips into a ziploc bag and snipped the corner and drizzled the tops of the cookies with a crisscross pattern for interest.
