I love these cookies made just as the recipe states, but greyghostmom2's idea of glazing them sounds great too! I think I will do that for this upcoming Valentine's Day.

I have made these cookies several times and they are very good. However, I take the leftover cherry juice and mix it with some powdered sugar to make a thick glaze and spoon it over the tops of the cookies when they have cooled. I think it adds a little to the flavor.
