I liked these very much. The actually cookie is really good. I thought they were super easy to make. And the kids even helped. I made them too big, so I will try again and make them smaller. I also want to try the drizzle with cherry juice and make it thicker. I think I will skip the coconut. I loved the idea of adding a chocolate chip in the middle of the cherry.

I decided to try these for Christmas this year. The dough is very easy to work with. It tastes somewhat bland. I added the cherry juice to the glaze and that definitely was noticeable in the final cookie product. I also decided to try something "different" and used a chocolate kiss instead of the cherry on a few cookies. My family definitely prefers the cherry! This recipe will MOST DEFINITELY be on my "to do" list each year!

I made these much smaller then the recipe called for and the batch made 32, next time I will make them even smaller. My husband thought they were too messy for 2 or 3 bites and I should try to make them bite size. I agree, will try. Plus, I think they will have more flavour if they are smaller because you would taste the cherry with each bite. I divided my batch into 3; made 1 plain, 1 pecan and 1 with chopped up white chocolate chips. The husband and kids liked the chocolate ones best and I liked the pecan ones, except you cannot send them to a "nut-free" school :( Definately alot of work, but look so nice on a cookie tray it is worth it. I also tried adding cherry juice to the coconut and/or icing for differentiate between the different flavours. The plain white ones looked the nicest.

These were so easy! I drained the cherries on a paper towel beforehand though. I also substituted half of the flour with ground oats (rolled oats processed fine in a food processor). I had a problem dipping them in the coconut - I don't think my glaze was thick enough. I ended up dusting half of them with powdered sugar instead, and all of them were delicious.

These are really yummy! The cookie part tastes sort of like shortbread. I also did as others had done and used the cherry juice instead of milk. Will make again. Next time I might try pineapple in the center seeing that my hubby doesn't like cherries.

I followed the recipe exactly and they were so easy to make. They rolled perfectly, baked evenly, and didn't crumble when rolling them in the coconut. I didn't need the whole amount of the frosting and coconut for rolling, so I would recommend a 3/4 batch and see how that goes. Better not to waste the ingredients.

I am not a fan of coconut so I rolled them in crushed pecans before baking them. I might try adding some cocoa to the dough or putting a chocolate chip inside the cherry next time to get a more "chocolate cherry" kind of cookie.
