White Chocolate Cherry Cookies are a delicious treat! Bake them for Christmas, Valentine’s Day or every day, they are a great dessert!
White Chocolate and Cherries seem to belong together, or is that just me? I love the combination, to be honest. And I love a different cookie. Yes, chocolate chip or peanut butter is delicious, but sometimes you need something else. So I did a little experimenting in the kitchen and I came up with these. I hope you enjoy them – they didn’t last long in this house!
You can have these delicious cookies whipped up for a Valentine’s Day Party, For Santa Clause or for any old day – in NO TIME! I loved how easy they were to make!

I love white chocolate and cherries together too. This cookie sounds wonderful, and looks so pretty. I am putting it on my “must make” list!
There really were so yummy! Let me know how you like them! 🙂
These cookies look so good! I love the color too 🙂
Thank you – the cherries really did turn them a pretty shade of pink;)
I can’t believe I’ve never thought of baking with maraschino cherries. They’re one of my top favorite guilty pleasure foods! Putting them in a cookie is genius and is happening sooner rather than later in my kitchen.
I love making treats with Maraschino Cherries – they are so sweet already – perfect in desserts!
We were both on the same wavelength! I made oatmeal, white chocolate and cherry cookies! Your look yummy!
I’m going to have to check that out! My boys would love that!
I absolutely agree with you – white chocolate and cherry go wonderful together. And I just looooooooooooove white chocolate.
These cookies would not last long with me around 🙂
um. well. They didn’t last long 😉

Thanks for stopping over Joanne!
Love this combination.. and just realized when I checked this out that I was going to make them at one time… I still need too 🙂
Thanks for sharing on Foodie Friends Friday Valentine’s Party and I hope that you will join us again for our Snack Foods Party this week.
I love these cookies – lol not to pat my own back – but they are REALLY yummy 🙂
These have become one of my favorite cookies to make and eat! I usually split the chips and have half white chocolate chips and half cherry chips. I get the cherry chips during Valentines. They coup look e well and aren’t overwhelming with the natural cherries. Love the recipe! Total Yum Fest!!!!
