Chocolate Chip-Cherry Chunk Cookies image

My grandmas and mom created this recipe with chocolate chips, cherries and spices, a combo of their favorite parts of different cookies. Then dad made ice cream to turn them into ice cream sandwiches. We'd eat these sandwiches in the summer heat, each bite cooling us as the ice cream melted down our arms. -Wade Rouse, Fennville, Michigan.

These cookies were a disaster! They were burnt and tasted terrible.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my cookies didn't turn out as well as I hoped. I'm not sure what went wrong.

These cookies were a bit too crumbly for my liking.

I found these cookies to be a bit dry. I think I'll try adding some extra butter next time.

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