After reading the reviews about the butter error, I looked this recipe up on Paula Deen's website and this recipe should read 1 c of butter NOT 1 stick. I left the cherries out and they are fantastic!!

I have made these cookies the last four Christmas seasons and just realized that I haven't reviewed them! I gave only four stars because I did change the recipe a bit! I used 1 1/2 sticks butter, 1 cup brown sugar and 1/2 cup white sugar and I've found that 1 cup each macadamia nuts (I love them, either dried cherries or candied (husband prefers candied and white chocolate morsels! I took a couple dozen to my daughter and her fiancé for Christmas and I thought he was going to eat them all! So yes they are excellent! Thanks for the recipe!

Thanks Paula!!!!! I read the reviews before making these and agree that the 1C butter should be 1/2C. Other than that the recipe is wonderful!!!! It is NOT too sweet and the balance of flavors is spot on. Even my wife (who doesn't like candied cherries thought they were out of this world. Don't change a thing people.......you will only serve to ruin the intended recipe.
