Mocha Cherry Cookies
Flecked with cherries and glistening with sugar, these dainty cookies always go over big. They're rich and tender, much like shortbread, and have a pleasant chocolate-coffee flavor.

Great quick cookie! Absolutely adorable....
I followed the recipe exactly as written. It was way too dry in texture, not like what I thought it would be. It was also crumbly. I wouldn't make them again.
These are so yummy!! The chocolate drizzled on top make these cookies absolutely delish!! I used vanilla sugar instead of regular sugar.
I tried making them this morning and was abit disappointed in them. I found the first batch to be dry. I thought I could fix this by adding just a drop or two of water. It helped with the dryness. I then turned up the temperature to 350 and reduced baking time to 10 min. Well they seem to have turned out better. The only thing that puzzles me is in the picture of them they seem to have spread out some and mine did not. Did I miss something?
