I didn't change or add a thing and they turned out perfect! I took a batch to my art class and everyone went wild for them.

The cookies are good. The recipe could have been a bit more clear. I dont have fancy equipment (SIGH!!!) to make the cookie dough so it took a while. And I thought it probably would have been easier if I would have melted the chocolate for the cookie dough a bit. The directions should have split the different things that needed to be separated. The cookies turned out good but I think might have been a little longer in my oven. they are pretty too. I made Quilted Mug rugs and will give a coffee \/tea cup along with a couple of cookies for the side snack. it said to dry the cherries. That made it to dry so I added cherry juice that made it better. <\/p>

Problem solved!!<\/p>
My cookies were flat. I made 2 changes: add 1\/2 c flour, bake at 350\u00b0 8-10 minutes.<\/p>
Do not add cherry juice, just keep kneading until it all comes together, which it will as the butter softens.
