These are a sugar cookie recipe, but because it’s powdered sugar and not granulated sugar they are not as “crunchy” as typical sugar cookies, they are a little more firm on edge and medium soft inside, they are not a soft chewy cookie like a drop cookie. The texture on these is great. If you truly like soft “chewy” cookies, drop cookies will be more to your liking. Here is one cookie you may love, it’s soft and chewy Oatmeal Oreo https://www.createdby-diane.com/2012/02/oatmeal-oreo-cookies.html red Velvet deep dish https://www.createdby-diane.com/2013/02/red-velvet-deep-dish-cookies.html Oatmeal Maple bacon https://www.createdby-diane.com/2014/05/oatmeal-maple-bacon-cookies.html If you do make the chocolate cherry cookies, I’d love to know if you like them, they remind me of “bakery” cookies when I was a kid and would go to an Italian bakery, that texture is what these are made after. and these chocolate cookies are chewy, if you wanted chocolate cherry, add cherry extract to these and I bet they would be great https://www.createdby-diane.com/2015/01/chocolate-sprinkle-cookies-2.html

oh Betsy, we’ll have to get together and bake! I love making cookies and yes, and well some are just awful looking! It took me a lot of time to have the majority of the batch turn out well.
