Hi There,

Sorry your cookies turned out kinda round. I'm guessing that my butter might have been a bit more melted or it could be because this particular batch I didn't have time to refrigerate before baking.

I hope this helps.

Great recipie! I made these cookies last night and they have a great taste. However - after refigerating and letting the dough sit for 30mins - I rolled them into balls, placed them on the baking sheet and baked them. They didnt flatten out at all to look like your wonderful picture - they just stayed in the round shape and baked. So for the next batch I rolled them into balls but them flattened them with a glass and they preserved that shape as they baked. Can you think of a reason why that would happen?

Thanks!

Made these for last week's "Cookie Monday" and everyone liked them. I ate several, but they just didn't thrill me like most cookies. Am I right in thinking they're basically a variation of shortbread? Anyway, they made a very cute pre-Valentine's cookie. :)

hi Laura... I'm new to your blog but I'm a big fan of these cookies... I made them when a friend of mine was coming to stay for a long weekend... sadly her flight was cancelled because of all this snow in mid-atlantic, and I was FORCED to eat them all myself. I've been a closet fan of Maraschino cherries since I was a kid -- Somehow I have always felt like I should have 'outgrown' my love for that piercing cherry sweetness. Thanks for the recipe... and for helping me feel like I'm not alone in my love affair!

What a sweet baby! Reminds me of my nieces when they were small... It's so great to be an Aunt!

Thanks for the recipe! I made them today, I should've doubled the ingredients, coz there's almost nothing left of it. Well, definitely will do next time. Awesome cookies! Thanks again!

2010-01-27T07:27:50.502-08:00

Hi Coleen,

They taste much more like cherry after the dough sits overnight and even turn more pink. I've made them often both ways, and resting the dough is way better.

The texture isn't much different though.

Is the overnight wait a taste advantage or a texture advantage? Are these a crisp cookie?

Where in the world did you find a recipe like this. I've never heard of such a thing, but I'm hooked on the idea of it. I love almond and maraschinos, so I'll definitely be making these. They'll be a nice cookie for Valentine's Day.
