SPICED CHERRY BELL COOKIES
At Christmas, my mother always baked 12 different types of cookies and placed trays of them on our dining room table, along with nuts, candies, and fruits. It was always beautiful. She passed this recipe on to me because it was my absolute favorite. Not too sweet, just right! The dough can bit a bit sticky, so keep it refrigerated until ready to use, and try to work quickly with it.
