A delicious combination that the whole family will love.

Cherry Cookies

Using fresh cherries is best when making these cherry pecan cookies. Just cut each cherry in half, remove the seeds, and then cut into small pieces so you have little bits of cherries. Chop the pecans into small pieces and when the cherries and pecans are combined, the tastes is awesome, especially with the orange glaze drizzled over the top of each cookie.
