Would make this again.
These were very good tasting. I also topped the cookie with half a candied cherry which added another texture and taste and looked more Christmasy.
Would make this again,but I rolled them into 1/2" balls which were just a nice bit size.

Would not make this again.
These were the worst cookies that I have ever made! They looked awful and tasted not so great either. I have never thrown out a batch of cookies before, but I couldn't get these in the compost bin fast enough.
