Love's Message and Cherry Winks Cookie Recipe!

Today I'm sharing another Valentine from my vintage greeting card collection and also a favorite old Valentine Cookie Recipe called "Cherry Winks" from a 1960's Better Homes & Gardens Cook Book! I just love these old recipes!

Don't these cookies sound delicious and remind you of days gone by? Maybe they'll even bring back a memory or two for you! Happy remembering! Have a beautiful day, everyone!

  2. No one in this house will eat cherries except for me. So a whole batch of these all to myself? Probably not the best idea. ;) But I'm sure I can find someone to help eat them!
    Adorable valentine, too! :)

  14. Cherry Winks is a very engaging name for a cookie.
    Did you see that I compiled on my blog from blogger comments there our favorite 21 books that we read in 2009?
    Your own book was recommended and is on the list:
    A Tree Grows in Trout Creek.
    I think that is an honor because my blog readers have great and eclectic taste in books :)

  21. I first made these for my grandmother who was spending her last days in a nursing home excluding the raisins & walnuts and using cornflakes instead...Before Christmas each year, Someone is always asking~ do you have the recipe for Mama's Cherry Winks since she loved to make them, they became her trademark being a wonderful cookie baker...and how I happened onto your site. My cookbook is almost 46 yrs old now and the recipe seems to disappear from time to time. Thank you what a wonderful way to beautiful way to share the recipe...
