My husband remembers having this cookie when he was young. It is a rolled cookie with cherries inside. Does anyone have a recipe that resembles this ? Thanks.

Maybe a rolled sugar cookie with some chopped candied cherries?

Were they rolled in corn flakes with a piece of Maraschino cherry on top. If so they were my mom's favorite. We use to make them for Christmas. I have the recipe.

Thanks so much for this recipe.

Cherry Winks - wonderful cookies. We used to make these every year. My Mom and Dad loved those cookies, they loved marachino cherries.

I really miss homemade goodies. Just don't want all of that stuff laying around the house.

My sister and I used to make these when we were kids - I loved them. However, I remember them containing chopped dates (I remember because I was in charge of chopping the dates - now we can get already chopped ones). I think the recipe came from a Pillsbury bake off.

My mom's recipe for Cherry Wink Cookies was the same but had 1 C chopped nuts & 1 C pitted chopped dates. My mom's instructions said to use 1 T dough rolled in cornflakes and top w/cherries (about 18 quartered) and just use the 1/4 cherry on top.

Recipe By:Miss Moneypenny

"A cookie tradition in my family, Christmas is not complete without our Cherry Dots."

Ingredients

1 cup butter, softened
1 cup white sugar
2 tablespoons milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
34 candied cherries
1 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

Directions

Beat the butter and sugar with an electric mixer in a large bowl until smooth. Stir in milk and vanilla extract. Mix in the flour and salt.
Divide the dough into two equal pieces, and shape each half into a 12 inch roll on a sheet of waxed paper. Place 17 candied cherries side by side on top of each roll, and press into the roll until the cherries are centered. Mold dough around cherries. Sprinkle the outside evenly with chopped walnuts. Wrap the dough in the waxed paper, and refrigerate 4 hours to overnight.
Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Cut each roll into 1/4 inch slices, and place the slices onto ungreased baking sheets. Bake in the preheated oven until golden, 12 to 15 minutes.
