With a Cherry on Top

These cookies are beyond addicting. I made them at Christmas and they were the first cookies to go. The cookies would make a great just because or hostess gift. This week I made them to go on a plate I borrowed from someone.

• Roll dough into small balls and place on a nonstick cookie sheet.
