Instructions
- Preparation: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Notes
Storage: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. If topped with whipped cream, refrigerate.
Flattening Tip: Flattening the cookies during baking helps achieve a crispier edge and chewy center.
Serving Suggestion: These cookies are best served fresh and can be enjoyed with a dollop of whipped cream and extra cherries on top.
Customization: Feel free to replace cherries with other fruits like strawberries or raspberries for a different twist.
