My mom always made, and I followed in her tradition, a cream cheese cookie with cherry on top. I'm not sure which I liked more, the taste of cream cheese or the cherry. These look yummy!
This is the first Christmas cookie I remember. My mother made them every year and we loved them. Eventually she expanded into many other kinds, but I believe she kept these in the repertoire. Memories!
Wasn't it Jack Lalane who advertised for wheaties? those look delish.
My aunt made these! I loved, loved, loved them!
My son adores anything with marschino cherries, and these look wonderful! He'll be thrilled!
Merry Christmas m'dear, and wishing you a healthy, revitalized New Year.
Hugs!
Is this the same thing as a Thumbprint Cookie? I just had my first one of those. But not my last. Merry Christmas!
Absolutely delicious! My grandmother also used to bake these and I'm so glad to have found your recipe. Thank you!
