4. Add your cherries and almonds.**Next time I am going to add a half cup of carob chips for a special treat.

 
5. Use a 1/4 cup measure, packing it tightly, but not completely full. Place your cookies on a well greased cookie sheet or baking stone. Grease the bottom of the cup and flatten each cookie before baking.

 
6. Bake at *350 F for about 16 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy on the edges. Enjoy!
