These cookies were so moist and cake-y.  My family absolutely loved them!  Not only are they super easy, but look how pretty!  They’d make a great Valentine’s Day treat!

Cherry Yums!

1 cup of sugar
10 Tbsp butter
2 Tbsp + 3 tsp milk
2 tsp vanilla
2 eggs
2 cups of flour

Maraschino cherries

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
In large bowl mix sugar, butter, milk, egg and vanilla.  Stir in flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt.

Press a cherry into each cookie.
Bake 10-14 minutes until set.  Cool on wire rack.

These were a tasty treat that Santa loved.  They weren’t my normal Chocolate Chip cookies, as I didn’t have all the ingredients that I needed for those.  These were quite yummy, and very moist.  They were a definite hit with everyone!

I am dreadfully sorry for having not been around.  Things have been absolutely crazy.  My entire family has been sick sick sick, I’ve been trying to stay healthy and get ready for the holidays… cooking, cleaning, decorating, volunteering, etc…  Add to that the fact that I have two Littles who are just so so so so excited for Santa that they can’t even contain themselves!  I’m tired. So, with the holidays right upon us, I wanted to whip up as many cookies as possible in as little time as possible. I came up with this recipe after a little poking around in my pantry and was pleased with the results. It also received two thumbs up from the five year old.
Not to mention that there’s the cute factor! Just how pretty are these?!
