I really liked these. But, of course, I like almost all cream cheese cookies. I didn't use shortening, I used butter. It seemed to make them a little richer. I also chilled my dough before making them into cookies. The end product was lovely. I had to freeze the survivors in small batches, so I didn't gorge myself. TIP: You don't have to sift your powdered sugar here. I measured out what was needed and just ran my big wisk through the sugar. Works like a charm.

These are so yummy. Make sure you roll these is plenty of powdered sugar. I followed the recipe exactly and they turned out great.

These were absolutely fantastic! I did make one change. I had regular shortening and didn't want to spend money on the butter flavored since shortening is so expensive now. So I did half unsalted butter and half vegetable shortening and they turned out great! Not recommended for someone with diabetes...there is a lot of powdered sugar in these cookies!

These cookies aren't what I'd consider to be one of my favorites. The dough mixes quite dry and needs those couple teaspoons of water the author mentions. The dough has very little, to no flavor and I even added almond extract and vanilla. Very disappointing. They also cook a little doughy and I even increased baking time and drained the cherries well, then dried them on paper towels. Most likely I will not be making these again. Sorry.

I printed the recipe with no picture, and a few days later made the cookies. Mine aremore like "cherry pillows". I might have to try again next year to see if I can get them to look better. Ok, I put the powdered sugar in the dough and it was super stiff, so added water to the dough to get it workable. At first I wasn't crazy about them, but they've totally grown on me. I also think adding some almond extract to the dough would be helpful and would do that next time I bake these. Overall, I would bake them again.

I'm not the kind who makes the roll out cookies, but these looked so cute and different, that I had to give them a whirl. Amazingly, these weren't as hard as expected, and was actually fun to assemble! (Fused the seams with a bit of water) The bake time could be a bit longer, as they did come out slightly under done. Did add in some powdered sugar to the dough mix (probably about 1/2 cup), and used Neufchatel. Taste as good as they look!

Good recipe very similar to my grammas. I take the dough and wrap it around the maraschino cherries that have stems and then sprinkle them with red sugar crystals before they bake. Its like cookie covered cherries.

This recipe needed some sugar in the dough, so I added 1/2 a cup of confectioners sugar to it! The dough was a bit hard to handle, but adding a touch of water helped. I might make these again, they tasted good and were pretty, however, next time I will squish the cookies down after rolling so that the cerries rest nicely, rather than looking obviously like I had rolled them into the dough. 4 stars

I put alot of effort into these. The first Christmas cookie I ever made and it didn't work out. However, seeing the review with rum and frost rolled in coconut, wow. Will TRY again.

These were wonderful, and a very nice change of pace! I made them at a cookie bake/exchange and they were a huge hit! There were many basic cookies, and alot of chocolate ones, so these really stood out, and looked very festive. Although they were a lot of work, everyone complimented me, and said how they were worth all the work that went into them (of course they weren't the ones making them - lol). And I made 6 batches of them! Next time, I'll probably make some prior to the get-together to have for home, and make less to exchange. After all, if I'm going to that much effort, I want some for myself. Thanks for the recipe!

This was the worst cookie I've ever made! The dough had no taste at all. It might be better if lemon extract or almond extract were added, but I'm not going to bother trying.

The dough was very bland. Needed something. Also they are not easy to make. Getting them all to look pretty was a chore. Not worth the effort.

i love this recipe. my great aunt makes them but instead of dusting them with powdered sugar, dips them in red icing (like the buttercream icing on the back of the powdered sugar box) and rolls them in coconut. she also soaks the cherries in rum the night before she makes them.
