Our seven children and four grandkids voted this festive, flavorful cookie a "keeper." We gave a batch to our mail carrier, in thanks for trudging through so much snow, and she asked for the recipe. -Ruth Anne Dale, Titusville, Pennsylvania

These cookies are the perfect combination of sweet and tart. I love the way the cherries pop in my mouth when I bite into one.

I'm not a big fan of cherries, but I actually really liked these cookies. The white chocolate balances out the tartness of the cherries perfectly.

These cookies are so cute! I made them for a baby shower and they were a big hit.

I love the idea of these cookies, but I found the cherries to be a bit too tart. I think I'll try using dried cranberries next time.

These cookies were a disaster! The dough was too sticky and the cookies spread out too much in the oven. I ended up with a pan of flat, crispy cookies.

I've made these cookies several times and they always turn out perfect. They're my go-to recipe for a quick and easy dessert.

The cookies were delicious, but they were a little too sweet for me. Next time, I'll use dark chocolate instead of white chocolate.

These cookies were a hit at my holiday party! Everyone loved the sweet and tart combination of the cherries and the creamy white chocolate. I will definitely be making these again.
