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.

SPICED CHERRY SAUCE
Here's a version of a recipe my mom used to make! Over the years I've cut back on the amount of spices but still enjoy the combination, whether over ice cream, pound cake, fruitcake, pancakes and even some meats! At times I've even jazzed it up a little with a bit of cherry flavoring, if you know what I mean!
