Cherry Crowns image

I originally found this recipe on-line a number of years ago and never made them until last year. I was looking through some cookbooks a few weeks ago and found the very same recipe in the Southern Living Christmas Cookbook. These are really delicious and look so pretty on my cookie trays.

These were a little bit too crumbly for my taste, but they were still good. I think I'll try them again with a different type of flour next time.

I used a different type of cherry and they turned out great! I'm sure any type of cherry would work well in this recipe.

These were a little bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I think I'll try them again with less sugar next time.

I used frozen cherries and they worked just fine. I also added a little bit of cinnamon to the filling and it gave them a nice flavor.
