I'm allergic to pecans, so I substituted walnuts instead. The cookies turned out just as good.

These cookies are way too time-consuming to make. I wouldn't recommend them unless you have a lot of time on your hands.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my cookies turned out dry and crumbly. I'm not sure what went wrong.

I'm not a huge fan of cherries, but I loved these cookies. The pecans and chocolate chips really balance out the tartness of the cherries.
