Adapted from Anna Olson, these are very much the Christmas cookie - studded throughout with gorgeously bright and clear candied cherries. You can't use maraschinos in syrup for this - look for the dry-packed glace kind. Read more Store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks or freeze up to 3 months. See less
