I'm not sure what went wrong, but my cherry winks turned out really dry. I think I might have used too much flour.

I'm not a big fan of cherry winks, but I made them for my husband and he loved them.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my cherry winks didn't turn out as well as I expected. I think I might have overcooked them.

These cherry winks are a bit too sweet for my taste, but they're still good.
