Cherry Winks Cookies

• 2 1/4 cups sifted all-purpose flour

• 1 teaspoon baking powder

• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

• 1/2 teaspoon salt

• 3/4 cup salted butter

• 1 cup granulated sugar

• 2 eggs

• 2 tablespoons milk

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

• 1 cup finely chopped pecans

• 1 cup finely chopped dates

• 1/3 cup finely chopped maraschino cherries

• 2 1/2 cups cornflakes, crushed

• 15-18 maraschino cherries, cut into quarters

Preheat oven to 375 F

Sift together flour, baking powder, soda, and salt.

In a second bowl, cream the butter and sugar. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing after each one. Stir in the milk and vanilla, and then add the dry ingredients with the pecans, dates, and chopped cherries. Mix well.

Using a level tablespoon or slightly mounded small cookie scoop, shape dough into balls, roll in crushed cornflakes, and place onto greased cookie sheets about 2 inches apart.

Bake 11-12 minutes or until browned.
