My husband loved these and they were a hit at Christmas dinner. The only thing I would change would be to add a bit more cherry extract.

I used a double zip loc baggie (I don't own a pastry bag and it broke through the corner the first time, so I had to move the dough, then my fingernails broke through the bag cuz you have to squeeze like you're a linebacker to get the dough out. Not fun to make but tasted good.

These worked fabulous at my last party. I used imitation butterscotch in the cookie and substituted a prune instead of cherry. Really made all the guests leave in a hurry, leaving plenty of "just me" time.
