I had tons of maraschino cherries that i was dying to use and i came across this recipe and figured id try them out. The batter is kind of a runny peanut butter like consistency and has a pale pink color to it. When the cookie is baked, it is way to soft to even move, even after cooling. I tried to put them in for a longer bake time but then they just burned to a crisp on the bottom. The taste is alright but the presentation is awful. It has potential to be a great cookie but it certainly isn't as is. Thanks anyway.

Yummy. Made them just like the recipe states, except had to use milk chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet. It's a nice fluffy cookie. The cherry flavor isn't overpowering either. The hardest part is chopping the cherries. My food chopper pulverized them, so I had to resort to a knife. I'll make them again.

These cookies are really good!! I did tweak the recipe due to lactose intolerance--I used Crisco instead of butter and soy milk instead of cow's. (I would have switched out the chocolate chips with dairy free chocolate chips but didn't have enough on hand). Anyway, they are delectable. The kids love them, too.

These cookies are great! They taste delicious and they're not too overpoweringly sugary from the maraschinos. Delicious with or without nuts!

Yummy! I made it with sweet cherries since I had those on hand to use up and substituted egg beaters for eggs. The added bonus of that was I got to enjoy plenty of the dough, too! My mom and I loved these. I think I made them a bit thick because I ended up with 24, but they still baked through so no worries.

These cookies are good if you like a soft cakey cookie. The flavor is very good. My husband and son liked them. I however like a cookie that is less cakelike. I did not make any changes to this recipe.

I really enjoyed these cookies and they definitely look festive. I substituted candied cherries and walnuts, since I had them on hand, and I was very happy with the results.

These were great! I didn't change a thing and they were super. The only problem I had was that my kids thought they looked a little funny. But once they tried one there was no stopping them! Thanks for sharing this one.
