Place 2" apart on ungreased baking sheets.

Flatten slightly with a glass dipped in remaining sugar.

I am back to tell you that I finally made these, and they were heavenly! The cookies stayed soft for days and I loved Marachino cherries here! This will be made often in my house from now on, thanks! I added my picture, hope that's OK. Also adding this recipe to the "I made it" group.
