A juicy maraschino cherry is the pleasant surprise tucked inside these unique cookies. My mother clipped this recipe out of the newspaper more than 30 years ago.

These are delicious & pretty. I use cherry juice instead of milk for the glaze so it's pink & only dip the top of the cookies so they don't get too messy & are more easily stored.

Easy to make & not too sweet. This recipe is a Christmas baking keeper.

Made these for the second year in a row for a Christmas Open House at my job. A big hit. Takes time to make but worth it in the end.

Very easy to make. Very tasty too. A real treat for the holidays and the winter season too.

These were a tasty addition to my Christmas cookie tray last year, and a popular treat at my daughter's classroom Winter party. They're a bit dry when first made, so I recommend preparing them a day or two in advance which will lead to a moister, more tender (and less crumbly) cookie.

I love anything with maraschino cherries. How do you store these cookies? Room temperature or refrigerate?
