Yummy, kids loved em, grandparents loved em, they go fast! My tips, add the 2TBSP cherry juice otherwise no dough. Chill dough before making the balls. Top chocolate with Christmas sprinkles! 5 stars

I don't know what I did wrong, but the dough was only enough for half the cherries. I'd like to see a picture of these cookies to see if mine look right. 3 stars
