Welcome to Christmas Week, a multi-blogger event co-hosted by Kim of Cravings of a Lunatic and Jen from Juanita’s Cocina! Each day we will be celebrating the holidays with a different set of Christmas-themed treats, as well as a fabulous Christmas giveaway. We hope you enjoy this fabulous event. Tune in each day starting today, Monday, December 9th and ending Saturday, December 14th.

I’m a little disturbed by how far we are into December. I mean, I’m still working on getting my decorations up and I’ve barely even begun my shopping.
Not to mention being prepared for holiday parties and lunch with friends.
This could be a problem.
In case you haven’t figured this out, I’m not one of those people who is uber-prepared and has the tree up on Thanksgiving Day, and all the shopping done by Halloween. Not at all. I’m more of a deal-with-one-crisis-at-a-time kind of person.
Except when there’s cookies involved. The thing is, sometimes a girl just needs a chocolate cookie, and it can’t wait until I’ve dug out the holiday music and put the Christmas centerpiece on the table.
Luckily, this recipe is so quick and easy, you don’t have to wait.
I hope you don’t get the wrong idea from all my complaining. The truth is, I love Christmas. I love all the holiday cheer, and twinkle lights, and music, and of course, the baked goods.
Which is why I’m so excited to be part of Christmas Week! Lots of bloggers are participating, and sharing some delicious holiday desserts with you all week long! As if that weren’t enough, we’re also giving away some fun prizes! You’ll have to check back during the week to see all the amazing recipes and giveaways.

You just reminded me that I am late with my christmas deco. O.O I can picture myself enjoying your cookies with some christmas ambiance. So comforting!
I make a non-chocolate version of these! Can’t wait to try these!
Happy day #1!
Creamy ranch herb dip for holiday appetizer party!
I will be making cookies!
Wow, I don’t know but it would be so awesome to have one that’s not on it’s last legs….mine is 25 years old if it’s a day….Would be great for veggies for the holiday dinners!
I cant wait to make these chocolate cherries cookies. Looking forard to your blog. I am a newbie
Yum!! I love chocolate covered cherries so these would no doubt be a hit!
Great idea! I love cherries in chocolate! I can’t wait to try these!
I love cherries and chocolate together. It’s a match made in heaven. I need these right now. I’m so tired. I need sugar man, badly.
Thanks for joining us this week. I’m so happy you are part of Christmas Week.
These are awesome cookies! Love them!
Frist… I have to say I LOVE this font that you use for comments! It makes me feel sophisticated!
And… I love how the cherries are spilling out of that broken cookie. I’m afraid I’d make this recipe then put it away in a box and not really share with everyone. but that wouldn’t be very Christmas spirited… so I think I’ll just put a few in a box to hide and share the rest. Fabulous recipe!!!
Cant wait to try these cookies
Luv the font u use
One of your recipes 🙂
So excited about this give away! First thing i would make: white chocolate gingerbread scones.
Love the combination of chocolate and cherry in these cookies. And the ease of preparation by using a cake mix base. A winner all around.
Homemade pesto!! Mmmmmm…

What a yummy surprise in that first bite! Your cookies sound amazing, Jen…not that I’d expect anything less!
The perfect combination! These look delicious!
Oh, these look fantastic! Can’t wait to try them.
I tend to eat a whole box of chocolate covered cherries at Christmas, so I know I’d love these cookies!
