For the best flavor, use high-quality semi-sweet chocolate chips. Make sure to pat the maraschino cherries dry with paper towels before placing them on the cookies to prevent the chocolate from seizing. If you don't have a double boiler, a microwave works just as well for melting the chocolate. Just be sure to stir frequently to prevent burning. Store the finished cookies in an airtight container in the refrigerator to keep the chocolate firm.
