My Mom, my Sister, my Daughter & I made these at Christmas time so we used red & green cherries, but these would also be great for your honey on Valentine's Day...This is my Grandma's recipe & she insists that she received many marriage proposals because of these cookies :)
2 1/4 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup softened butter
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
2 tablespoons milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup chopped walnuts
1 cup chopped dates
1/3 cup chopped maraschino cherries
2 2/3 cups crushed corn flakes
15 maraschino cherries cut into quarters
Add eggs (minus bits of shell, of course), beat well.
Stir in nuts, dates & chopped cherries.
Bake at 375 for about 10 minutes.
Makes about 5 dozen.
Enjoy! ;)
Tip: Be sure to either eat these right away or keep them sealed up tight so the cornflakes don't get stale!
