This is one of my sons favorite cookies. I recommend putting the dough in the refrigerator for a little bit before trying to roll. Also, I have better luck with the oven temperature at 375 rather that 400 as the recipe says.

I have been making this cherry pie for years! Everyone loves it! I recommend using 3 cans of Oregon red tart cherries (in water), definitely use the butter called for in the recipe and an added ingredient that makes all the difference…almond extract!...
