Chocolate Covered Cherries and Praline Cookies

 

Two more cookies for today.  My total is now at about 30 dozen.  The first ones are Martha Stewart's Aunt Mary Dillon's Praline Cookies.

 

I use about twice as many chopped pecans in the topping than is recommended by the recipe.

 

And these are the Chocolate Covered Cherry Cookies.

 

I got this Oregon-manufactured cocoa from New Seasons and would highly recommend it.  Wonderful taste and smell!

If you would like to share photos and recipes for your holiday cookies, I have a Flickr Group that you can join.

Thanks so much for sharing! I just printed both recipes. I'm not going to get those praline cookies off my mind until I've eaten a few....okay, several.
