The cookies were pretty good, I did make some modifications to the frosting while I was making it though. I increased the sweetened condensed milk to at least 1/3 cup to make it creamier and more manageable, and added a bit more cherry juice. I also cut the corner off a ziploc bag and used that to pipe that the frosting onto the cookies which worked really well. Overall I think the chocolate was too bitter for me though, next time I will probably use semi-sweet chocolate instead!

Maybe I did something wrong with this recipe, I'll try it again and make sure. Thanks for the recipe.

Couldn't get ours to look as good as the picture but they were tasty. We will make them again.

Made these last night. Instead of using cherries, I filled with blueberry preserves. An easy and yummy cookie to make. I doubled the recipe and came out with about 36 cookies so I think I need to make them smaller next time. Buttery and light and very sweet.

These turned out very good! A really good Christmas treat. Also made some with caramels instead of Cherries.

Very tasty cookie. I put the chocolate condensed/ milk mixture into a pastry bag fitted with a star tube and "buried" the cherry that way. Very pretty. I included them on a cookie tray for a party and got lot's of compliments. I will make these part of my Christmas baking tradition. Thanks for sharing!

Really good cookie-I used a version of this recipe that makes these cookies chocolate by adding in 1/3 cup cocoa powder. I also made the chocolate frosting by melting 1/2 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips with 2/3 cup of sweetened condensed milk which made it nice and creamy. I will definitely make these again.

These cookies were really easy to make and I had everything already in the house which was nice. My kids weren't 100% thrilled by this recipe but I definitely enjoyed a dessert that went beyond chocolate chips and the combination of cherry and almond was delicious. Will be adding to my holiday routine definitely!!!
