These cookies are GROSS!! They are just butter balls with raw oatmeal and a few pieces of cherries. Unfortunately, I have nothing good to say about them at all. one star

Definitely would not make this again. If you like solid balls of raw butter than this is your cookie. I cant say anything good about this cookie (it should not even be referred to this way). It doesnt look pretty, the taste is not good and you basically have to serve them cold, who likes cold cookies? Perhaps these ingriedients have potential as a cookie that goes into the oven. one star

I love these balls! Every time I make them my girls eat them up like they're going out of style. five stars

I do NOT recommend these. The result - pink colored balls of butter. 5 out of 5 brave testers couldn't even finish the first bite. Only serve to a crowd who doesn't mind eating butter balls. one star

i have been trying different cookie recipes all week trying to find a new christmas cookie to make for a party i will be attending. these BY FAR were the BEST cookie i tried!! they were so easy to make and everyone that tried them LOVED them!!!! i will definitely be making these for the party. when i made one recipe, it made about 30-35 cookies, so if you need to make more, i'd suggest doubling the recipe. five stars
