It seems kind of odd to frost the chocolate covered cherry cookies before baking, but it does work. The frosting is very fudgy and the temperature at which it will melt is higher than the temperature the cookies are baked at. Not only does the frosting not melt it shouldn't really move at all during the baking process. If you have trouble with the frosting melting off the cookies it most likely means you didn't use real chocolate when making it.
