Sugared Cherry Jewels image

The texture and crunch of the sugar coating make these chewy cookies extra special. I love the bright cherry center and the fact that they look lovely in a holiday gift box or tin.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but mine didn't turn out as good as the picture. They were still tasty, though.

I had some trouble getting the cherries to stay on the skewers, but other than that, these were great!

These were a little too sweet for my taste, but they were still good.

These sugared cherry jewels were an absolute delight! They were so easy to make and turned out beautifully. The cherries were perfectly tart and sweet, and the sugar coating added a nice crunch. I will definitely be making these again!
