They were excellent! I work in a retirement home, and every week, we engage in a little baking therapy, and they were as enlightening to make as they were good to eat. It was especially challenging making sure all cookies had cherry in them, which we did successfully.
One small question, the directions mention "salt" and the ingredients don't list it. We figured 1/4 teaspoon, and it seemed to work. Is that correct?
