These cookies were a huge disappointment. They were dry and crumbly, and the chocolate and cherry flavors were barely there. I won't be making these again.

These cookies were a bit more work than I expected, but they were worth it. They turned out beautifully, and they tasted even better than they looked. I will definitely be making these again for special occasions.

I'm not a big fan of chocolate and cherry together, but these cookies were surprisingly good. The flavors were well-balanced, and the cookies were soft and chewy. I would definitely make these again.
