These are good cookies, no doubt about it. The only problem I faced while making these was in step 5. I tried to place half a glaze cherry in the center of the cookie, but, the cookie would just come apart. So, I ended up placing the half cherry on top of the cookie. I did that for all the cookies. Made 17 in total of these blissful cookies as I like my cookies larger in size than the usual. I liked, in particular, the taste of the almond essence in these, it was stronger than the vanilla essence and made these cookies just great! These cookies looked as elegant as they tasted - I used a combo of red and green glaze cherries. Next time, I'll use maraschino cherries for these cookies. Will definitely try these again.

I live in a beautiful rural area, and I get lots of backyard visitors, including deer, coyotes, bears, raccoons, and skunks. I'm basically a homebody, and I enjoy reading, writing, surfing the net, working out, studying the Bible, taking scenic photos, and of course, cooking.
