List of Ingredients
2 1/4 cups sifted flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup shortening
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
2 tablespoons milk
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 cup chopped nuts
1 cup chopped dates
1/3 cup chopped maraschino cherries
2 1/2 cups crushed corn flakes
Recipe
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Sift flour, baking powder, soda, and salt together in a bowl. Using an electric mixer, beat shortening, sugar, eggs, milk, and vanilla in another bowl. Add flour mixture and mix well. Stir in nuts, dates, and cherries. Shape dough into small balls and roll in corn flakes. Place on cookie sheet and bake for 10 minutes. While warm, top each cookie with one-half maraschino cherry.
Add one-half cup more flour to make heart-shaped cookies, or dough will be too sticky. For best results, try an insulated cookie sheet.
