These cookies were a disaster! They spread out too much and they were too dry. I don't know what I did wrong.

I'm allergic to nuts, so I omitted them from the recipe. The cookies were still delicious.

I had a hard time finding glace cherries, so I used dried cherries instead. They worked just fine.

These cookies are a bit too sweet for my taste, but they're still good. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

I'm not a big fan of drop cookies, but these were really good. They're crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside.

I'm not a huge fan of cherries, but I loved these cookies. The dates and nuts balance out the tartness of the cherries perfectly.

These cookies are a great way to use up leftover dried fruit and nuts. I always have a batch of these in my freezer for when I need a quick snack or dessert.
