Chocolate-Cherry Sandwich Cookies image

I make these often at Christmastime, but they're a winner for summer parties, too. Chilling the cookies before you dip them into chocolate is important because it firms up the filling. -Amy Sauerwalt, Columbia, Maryland

I'm not a big fan of chocolate cherry cookies, but these were surprisingly good. The chocolate and cherry flavors were well-balanced, and the cookies were soft and chewy.

These cookies are a great way to use up leftover chocolate chips and cherries. They're also a great snack for on the go.

I had some trouble getting the cookies to spread out properly. They ended up being more like chocolate cherry bars than cookies.

These cookies were a disappointment. They were dry and crumbly, and the chocolate and cherry flavors were barely noticeable.

These cookies were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I think I'll try making them again with less sugar next time.
