As a participant of a Crisco® Ambassador Program, I’ve received compensation for my time and product samples for review purposes. Opinions are my own.
Valentine’s Day has seemed to turn into red velvet this and red velvet that… but what about a classic? Chocolate covered cherries! I decided to throw that idea into a cookie recipe with the help of my friends at Crisco®!
I’m teaming up with Crisco®, as a Crisco Creator, to help inspire home cooks with new recipe ideas and cooking and baking tips using Crisco® products.
Crisco® is the trick to getting poofy and tall cookies like these! Packaged in easy- to- use measurable sticks, Crisco® All-Vegetable Shortening Sticks deliver higher, lighter-textured baked goods while also making them moist and tender. These cookies look so cute with the cherry in the middle and the cookies are light and magical when you bite into them. Plus, with the cherry in the center and chocolate drizzle you might even forget it’s Valentine’s Day!
So let’s get started! I made a fun video to show you just how easy it is to make these Chocolate Covered Cherry Cookies and I’ve included some tips below!
If you want to mix things up, you can always chop the cherries and fold them into the batter. You can even use a spoonful of chocolate to cover the entire cherry for a more decadent cookie or drizzle with white chocolate! Make it your own and perfect for that special someone.
You’ll want your dough balls to be about 1 Tablespoon in size, you can scoop them with a food scooper or roll them with your hands. Make sure you blot out the excess syrup from the cherries before you press them into the dough balls!
You’ll see in the video that I use a plastic bag as a quick piping bag by pouring the melted chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk into the bag, sealing it, and then snipping off the corner of the bag! I love using this trick because there’s one less thing to wash when I’m all done in the kitchen! And less washing means more time eating these adorable cookies.
Tip: If your cookie dough is a little dry, add 1-2 Tablespoons of the juice from the maraschino cherry bottle!

Mary
Oh! They are so cute, and they look delicious, too! Pinning!
Just put a pan of these in the oven! But I didn’t see when to add the egg in the written ingredients so I added it to the shortening/sugars mixture.
I love it! I also need to try these with strawberries, but not adding them until after the cookies are baked!
Oh thank you! you are so sweet to follow along and comment!
Oh my! I can’t believe I forgot that! But yes, that’s exactly when you should add them!
Thhe right off the bat that you simply must consider is the best

For those who have had a current medical evaluation, a web based drugstore commonly does not require that you access another professional medical exam prior to filling your prescription. Online pharmacy is
a legitimate platform to buy prescription and non prescription drugs
without even visiting the doctor. Pharmacists, who must earn a qualifying degree, prepare and dispense prescribed medications.
For example, when the primary use of your motor vehicle is usually to support your company, you should think about insurance and then any payments you may have
on the vehicle. Internet marketing is cheaper than printed ads,
radio or TV. The choices endless for the budding businessperson looking to get into retail sales.
Thanks to my father who stated to me regarding this
webpage, this website is really remarkable.
