Cherry Winks
Report
Both chewy and crunchy with a buttery cookie base, Cherry Winks are a vintage cookie recipe that deserves some renewed attention. Chopped pecans and cornflakes add to the texture, and chopped maraschino cherries and dates add both color and sweetness. These old-fashioned cookies are sure to be a hit on any cookie platter.
