These were easy to make and turned out very pretty! Very tasty too! Made as posted and this will be on my cookie tray every Christmas from now on! Thanks for posting Mysterygirl. -
I tagged this recipe for Zaar Tag and I had a hard time finding the 8 ounce boxes of sugar free cake mixes so I used a regular size cake mix. When mixing the batter I added enough milk to make a thicker mixture, almost a brownie type batter. Added a teaspoon of Amaretto for the almond extract and used whole cherries to put in the middle of the cookies. These baked up nicely, crackled, and were very rich and good. The white chocolate I put in a ziploc baggie and melted in the microwave. Snipped the corner of the baggie and decorated the cookies. I am sure these will be wonderful cookies when using the sugar free cake mix! Thank you Mysterygirl for posting this recipe.

<p>I am one of the early members of Zaar joining in October 2001. It was instantly my favorite site even though there were only about 5000 recipes. Back then the original owners Troy and Gay ran the site and they had a lot of interaction with the members. I miss them. <br /> <br />Through the years it still remains to this day my favorite go to site and the one that I send all of my friends and family to when they need anything.</p>
