Followed recipe exactly and it was great. It made 6 dozen for me, but I probably rolled out a little too thin. They were nice and crisp until I stored them in a plastic bag. Still good but now are soft.

The bell shape does not stay, kind of turns into a "bigfoot" shape. Not a pretty cookie, too big. Taste was nothing special. The filling got lost in the size of cookie this is. Marlena

I made these yesterday. They are challenging to roll out, but I learned you could use flour generously without affecting the taste. They are beautiful and tasty!

I love this recipe I compared it with my Grandmothers and the ingredients and measurements are exactly the same. which is unusual recipes usually change as they are passed around. Whenever I make this cookie most everyone has never had them before but always love them. It is nice to know someone else is making this great cookie.

I like many of the other cooks who rated this recipe love it! My mother also made these at Christmas. They were my favorite and I always asked her to make them at Christmas. After I was grown and had a family of my own she gave me the recipe and told me it was my turn to make them. I can see why she did so as they are time consuming to make, but so worth every minute you spend making them. My mother passed away 2 years ago and I am so glad she had the wisdom to give me this recipe and teach me to make them!

Wow! This was great. It didn't even bake all the way in the middle and it didn't even matter. My guests loved it--even the less-done middle.

Thank you SO MUCH!! My mom made this recipe when we were kids. I was only 11 when she passed away in 1975 and have not had this recipe since. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. They taste just like the ones mom used to make!

We recently held a bake sale and I make these cookies to sell, though I used a sun-shaped cookie cutter. People bought one, then came back to buy more to eat and take home. Definitely a keeper!!

Absolutely delicious chewy and flavorful cookies with a truly outstanding cherry-nut filling. WOW!!! This was my (and my Mom's) favorite cookie for the last two Holiday seasons. I've also made them into leaf shaped sandwich cookies for autumn (believe me, they're too good to have only once a year!). Heart sandwich cookies for Valentines's Day?...mmmmmm!!

I have been looking for this receipe for a long time. My mom used to make these when we were kids and we lost the receipe book that it was in. Thank you so much for putting it here it brings back alot of good memories of my parents working together in the kitchen making these.

What a great recipe! It was great to make with kids and tastes great. It did take a while to get the bell shape down, but they look great anyway.

This has been a Christmas favorite in my family for three generations. Great cookie. I chill the dough for about 20 min before rolling and also cut back the butter in the filling a little (it seems to make it spread less). Glad to see you put this one in.
