A simple, easy recipe! I made these months ago for a lunch with friends during the Christmas holidays and forgot to review. The cookies are not too sweet and have a bit of a crunch (at least mine did!!) Baking time was right for my oven. I skipped the cherries and put a dab of frosting on top of the cookies. Yummy!
