CHERRY CHRISTMAS SLICES
Brilliant red and green candied cherries add extra sparkle to these delicious holiday delights. What I really like best is that this recipe's easy to mix up ahead of time. In fact, I've often made the dough in November and kept it in the freezer until I needed it in December! -Katie Koziolek, Hartland, Minnesota
