Just made a sample batch for cookie exchange test. These are great. I found them very easy to frost after baking by dipping them in the frosting and swirling them around. There is a little too much frosting, but hey, who doesn't love eating chocolate frosting!

They were ok... BUT... they were the only cookies left in my cookie tins after Christmas dinner. That right there says it all with my family!

My husband hates cherries but loved the taste of the chocolate part so I just make some of these without cherries and he is a very happy man!

I added a little extra sugar, when my mom makes these I don't think the dough is sweet enough.

These were ok, very moist but a lot of trouble to make. Kept having to put the dough in the freezer for several minutes so that I could work with it to form, otherwise too mushy. Although I thought they were tasty, not too many enjoyed the slight almond flavor in them or the cherry. Would be worth the trouble if everyone liked them but sadly they did not:-(

My late mother in law used to make these and I have looked for the recipe for years! Thanks so much for posting!!! She taught me how to cook/bake and these are one of my husband's favorite Christmas cookies. The texture is wonderful and the taste is perfect!

These cookies were good and turned out beautifully. To make the hole for the cherry, use the back of a round 1/4 tsp. measure. Press it gently into the dough ball, and you get a perfect, round hole!

Outstanding cookies! Baked as directed except I added extra cherry juice to the frosting, which made it perfect. Will definitely make these cookies again.

My friends father used to make these for her and she would share them with me. I asked him for the recipe and he said they were a family secret. Sure... until I came across them in one of those cookie collection books at the check out line. I always roll the dough into balls and make a thumbprint in the middle to put the cherry in. ALSO... it is very important once the cookies are frosted to put them in an airtight container... the moisture from the fudge icing makes the cookie part nice and soft!

I make this every year, I use them at a cookie exchange and they are requested every single year. The recipe doesn't make much so have two pans ready to alternate. I love these cookies so much I find myself wanting them even in the summer. I have yet to find one person that doesn't like them. A fellow cookie exchange participant froze some last year and said they were great even after freezing. I do ad a little parafin wax to the topping to make the chocolate harder so I can put them in containers to share without them getting messed up, they are just as good! Wonderful cookie!

These are very rich and divinely chocolatey! Love them. I have also made the frosting the night before, put in the fridge to firm up and used a scoop of the frosting together with half the cherry in the middle of the cookie for a variation - turns out like a molten chocolate cookie. Although frosting after baking is more difficult - it looks better.

I have made these for several years after a friend of mine introduced the recipe to me. I absolutely LOVE these cookies, my all time favorite hands down. Wouldn't change a thing about the recipe, never have. They come out perfect every time!

Even though covering the cherries with the cookie dough is rather time consuming; it is entirely worth the effort. The cookie dough is very chocolaty, and complemented the cherry center surprisingly well. The frosting is incredible in it's blending of chocolate , and cherry flavoring. The thing I like most about this cookie is that there are no overpowering tastes in it; the chocolate taste does not overpower cherry, nor does the cherry taste overpower the chocolate . Overall, a very enjoyable cookie, which I cannot wait to make again.

This is my favorite Christmas cookie that I make every year. I always freeze my cookies and I found out that this cookie is the best when cold! It tastes like candy.

I have several chocolate cherry lovers in my family and they loved these cookies. Great recipe and very simple. I even liked them which surprised me. They are like a very moist brownie cookie with a yummy cherry surprise in the middle. The chocolate topping was to die for, very rich. I made these for my hubby for Valentine's day. Sprinkled a little red edible glitter on the tops, so cute.

These cookies were just the thing for a chocolate fix. The dough was great even raw! I had one that was completely dipped in chocolate and it was too sweet for me. I dipped 1/2 all the way (tops and bottoms) and 1/2 I dipped only over the tops. The cherry bits on top (from another review) were very pretty. Not that hard or time consuming. Loved them!
