Chocolate Cherry Cookies
These Chocolate Cherry Cookies are a fabulous treat. They are a soft fudge cookie with a plump, sweet maraschino cherry in the center, drizzled with chocolate fudge sauce. Not only are these cookies a delectable treat, but they are so attractive. We love these cookies; they are perfect for the season. What could be prettier for the season than chocolate and cherry?

Cover baking sheets with silicone mats or parchment paper.
Use your thumb to press a small indentation in the cookie before baking. You want the cherry to be very prominent, so just a slight impression to get the cherry to cradle on the top of the cookie.
The fudge topping is semi-soft, so serve in a single layer.
