Cherry Cookies are like the favorite candy, but instead of candy it is made with a crispy cookie. The best part is since you use a cake mix to make them, it’s quick and easy. Chocolate Cherry Cookies are perfect for holiday parties, wonderful for Christmas or Valentine’s Day. Also, they are simple enough to make any night you want a sweet treat for your family.

Tips & Tricks (5)

  • Cherry Moisture Magic 💦
    Pat Maraschino cherries completely dry before placing them on cookies to prevent excess moisture from making the cookie base soggy.
  • Cake Mix Texture Trick 🥣
    Add 2 tablespoons of cornstarch to the cake mix to create a crispier, more structured cookie that holds its shape better.
  • Chocolate Coating Pro Tip 🍫
    Use a double boiler or microwave at 50% power when melting chocolate to prevent burning and achieve a smooth, glossy finish.
  • Red Sugar Crystal Enhancement 🍬
    Sprinkle red sugar crystals immediately after placing the cherry on the cookie to ensure maximum adherence and decorative sparkle.
  • Chill for Perfect Shape ❄️
    Refrigerate the cookie dough for 30 minutes before baking to prevent spreading and maintain a more compact, attractive cookie shape.
