  • Use fresh cherries for the best flavor. If using frozen cherries, thaw them completely before using.
  • If you don't have a cherry pitter, use a straw to remove the pits.
  • Dip the cookies in the melted chocolate while they are still warm. This will help the chocolate to adhere to the cookies.
  • If you are using sprinkles, add them immediately after dipping the cookies in the chocolate. This will prevent the sprinkles from melting.
  • Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
