Would make this again.
These cookies were horrible!!! We used chocolate covered cherries and the cream spread all over the pan!!! The chocolate melted out everywhere! When you ate the cookies it tasted llike dough! they were awful!!!
RESPONSE: Of course the cream from the chocolate covered cherries ran all over. The recipe doesn't call for chocolate covered cherries, it calls for candied cherries! When you change the recipe you do so at your own risk. 1 star

My family used to make this and other recipes which were printed in a Better Homes & Gardens issue from the late 1940s. I lost it and have been looking for it for years. Thank you very much. 5 stars
