Very good, but messy to make. Wear gloves! I had red everywhere! If I make these again, I will be sure to quadruple the batch because I found it hard to make them small. I only got 18 individual halves to make a total of 9 cookies. I would give these cookies five stars if my red fingers would let me!

These were delicious! I used a 1.5 inch cookie scoop to get the similiar sized cookies. I followed the recipe as printed and everyone loved them. I have already been requested to make them again.

Loved the cookie recipe although it didn't make near to 42 cookies. I think I got 28 which gave me 14 pies. The filling was okay but I will use a cream cheese frosting mix from the cake next time as it will be a little thicker. It's wonderful having the individual pies instead of the whole cake. Very easy to make. End result - yummy.
