If it’s dry you might have added too much flour. The best way to measure it is to first stir the flour in the container. Then, lightly spoon it into your dry measuring cup and use a dinner knife to level it off.
Do I have to stuff the cookies? Can you just add the cherries to the dough?
I love the surprise bite of cherry inside the cookie, but you could use chopped maraschino cherries instead and fold them into the dough after you add the dry ingredients.
Can I use fresh cherries?
I haven’t tried that but fresh cherries have a lot more moisture. As they bake they will release juices which could change how the cookies turn out. For that reason, it’s better to stick with maraschino cherries.
How long do the cookies keep?
They will keep for three days at room temperature. Keep them tightly wrapped in plastic wrap or in an airtight container.
