Would not make this again.
These cookies are GROSS!! They are just butter balls with raw oatmeal and a few pieces of cherries. Unfortunately, I have nothing good to say about them at all.

Definitely would not make this again. If you like solid balls of raw butter than this is your cookie. I cant say anything good about this cookie (it should not even be referred to this way). It doesnt look pretty, the taste is not good and you basically have to serve them cold, who likes cold cookies? Perhaps these ingriedients have potential as a cookie that goes into the oven.

I love these balls! Every time I make them my girls eat them up like they're going out of style.

I do NOT recommend these. The result - pink colored balls of butter. 5 out of 5 brave testers couldn't even finish the first bite. Only serve to a crowd who doesn't mind eating butter balls.

We will be making these yummy, easy cookies again this year. We did some of them with the red cherries and some with the green....they were very popular!
