Cherry Winks

Sunday, December 9, 2012
Cherry Winks are a popular cookie that became a winning recipe for a National Pillsbury contest back in the 1950s.

The recipe is a basic cookie dough with dates, maraschino cherries, and nuts then rolled into cornflakes and baked.

These crunchy little gems are perfect for any holiday cookie tray and certainly have a delicious blend of flavor in every bite.

The sweet little maraschino cherries really give this cookie its character in color with the balance of sweet and crunchy coating from the cereal along with the pecans and sweet dates.

We love this vintage cherry cookie and it's surely a treat every Christmas holiday!
