Valentine Recipe-Cherry Hideaway Cookies

Cherry Hideaway Cookies – soft, buttery sugar cookies with a juicy cherry hiding in the middle. A drizzle of melted chocolate not only makes them pretty, it tastes amazing! If you love cherry chocolates, give these cookies a try!

cherry cookies with melted chocolateI spent almost all day in the kitchen yesterday. I taught my second cooking class last night. I showed the ladies how to make four main dishes. That required a lot of prep work, so I was preparing for most of the day.

 
My husband was gone last night and the boys were home alone, so my house is a disaster! I am so glad that the weekend is just around the corner. And it is a long weekend. Woohoo!
 
Are you ready for Valentine’s Day? It totally snuck up on me this year. Maybe because it’s on a Sunday and that’s just unusual. Maybe it’s because we are celebrating two birthdays at our house. Maybe it is because I’m so busy the time is flying by me and I don’t even know what day of the week it is. 😉
 
I planned on making lots of fun Valentine’s treats, but we had birthday’s, and a person can only consume so much sugar. I am planning on making a couple of things, so I guess I’ll have to sneak them on here tomorrow.
 
I made these cherry cookies for a Christmas cookie swap a couple years ago. When I made them then, I dipped the entire cookie in white chocolate, then drizzled them with milk chocolate. But now when I make them I usually just drizzle chocolate on top because it’s much faster. Since they have cherries and chocolate, I think they would be perfect for Valentine’s Day!
