Maraschino cherries have a special place in my heart. Every Christmas when I was growing up, I always gave a box to my teachers. When you gave a box of chocolate-covered cherries were always a welcome gift to anyone who receives it. Recently, I found this gorgeous cherry snowball cookie recipe by Best Recipes With Sharon, on YouTube, and it looked like a great gift idea. The recipe is so easy as well, it is like making a regular Pecan Sandie type of cookie but, you wrap the dough around the cherry.
