Cherry No-Bake Cookies image

I've always loved my no-bake cookie recipe, but I was never able to place at the fair with it. So I mixed in some maraschino cherries, added a few drops of almond extract, and voila! We won a blue ribbon at the county fair in 2010. -Denise Wheeler, Newaygo, Michigan

I love how these cookies taste, but they were a bit too crumbly for my liking. I think I'll try adding a little more butter next time.
