Chocolate Cherry Cookies Recipe

	Guivre / All my dishes 9 months ago Slightly fussy cookies but well worth it. Great presentation and neat use of cherries. Don't forget to figure in the chill time to prep, there is no feature for that here, apparently. It's important to make the rolls uniform for baking time. ... More Prep:30m Cook:7m Servings:7	Guivre
