i.haidar@yahoo.comI'm not a big fan of cherries, but I actually really liked these cookies. The white chocolate balances out the tartness of the cherries perfectly.

mm@yahoo.comI love the idea of these cookies, but I found the cherries to be a bit too tart. I think I'll try using dried cranberries next time.

tolajire@gmail.comThese cookies were a disaster! The dough was too sticky and the cookies spread out too much in the oven. I ended up with a pan of flat, crispy cookies.

n_mughal13@yahoo.comThe cookies were delicious, but they were a little too sweet for me. Next time, I'll use dark chocolate instead of white chocolate.
