Delicious! I do prefer it with dried cherries. It adds a nice tart flavor that I love.

We love these. I leave out the walnuts due to personal preference. I'm a sucker for cherry and chocolate together, and these do the trick. Thanks for sharing!

These were delicious, much better than I expected. They were very moist and had just enough chocolate flavor to make them delicious. They were more like brownies though, good to be eaten right away or does not really keep, it's just a pile of mush.

these cookies are AMAZING! I used dried tart cherries and they were delicious. They taste like a brownie with cherries in it...perfect. I only made a half batch but know for a fact I will be making these again and again! yum.

Five star flavor, one star for appearance and ability to hold up. These tasty like cherry infused brownies! I did give an extra TBS cocoa, cut the sugar to 3/4 cup, used Butter Crisco, and added some cherry juice to the dough. Expecting them to stay in the shape I put them on the sheet, I flattened the dough... After 14 minutes in the oven, they were massive. By that I mean, giant pancakes. And, centers undercooked, though the edges were glorious. I'll definitely make these again, just tink with the temp/time, and work on their aesthetic.

I thought that these tasted great and were really easy to make, but the dough was soooo sticky. I don't know if it would ruin the taste to add more flour, but they were almost impossible to drop. I would try chilling them first to see if that helps. They took 12 minutes to bake in my oven, but maybe that was because I made them too large? I did not get 48 cookies out of the recipe.

I used 1 c. coconut, 2 eggs (instead of 1), and dried cherries. In the future, I would use less cocoa and more cherries. With two eggs, cookies flattened out in the oven. There is a sticky glaze on top, though, that I do not like - nor can I pin my finger on...

This recipe is easy to prepare and handle, and the cookies are delicious! However, I found that the cherry taste wasn't strong enough, and was overpowered by chocolate. I don't think that the maraschino quantity is wrong - they are just the right amount. But maybe a recipe that used fresh cherries would be more fruity and more to my liking... * UPDATE: I tried them the next day, and they were MUCH better! The 2 flavours were much more balanced. So, I change my rating to 5 stars. Thanks for sharing!

These are really good! My only complaint is that they can be a bit too sweet, due to the maraschinos. I've made them a few times already, they're perfect for satisfying a chocolate or cherry craving. mmmmm
