My mom made these every Christmas for as long as I can remember. She used almond and cream of tarter in her recipe. She rolled them in crushed cornflakes and didn't press her thumb into them, just a candied cherry. I love the flavor and sweet memories of my mom.

These are good cookies. Not too sweet and have a nice chew to them. I made with maraschino cherries. I just wish they didn't spread so much...Made for Help A Naked Recipe in the Photo Forum. -
These are delicious! I use almond extract and candied cherries, then I rolled the individual dough balls in crushed Wheaties before baking.

I love to cook and so I am thrilled that I found recipezaar. I work as an educational assistant in a food school so I am around food all day long. I have four children, three of which have already flown the coop so to speak but I still have my 'baby' at home. (He's 21). I am lucky in that I have my summers off so I spend a lot of time trying new recipes and catching up on my reading. I also play soccer in a ladies league to stay in shape.
