I would like to dedicate this recipe to my special ladies group of "SCARLET FLOOZIES" we belong to the OFFICIAL RED HAT SOCIETY CLUB. This is my original recipe and a combination of a cookie and a bread recipe,that I have in my recipe box.. Then I added my little touches and came up with this sweet little red (hat)cherry cookie, on my second baking attempt. I believe it is perfected....and now a sweet little bit of heaven! My ladies enjoyed it! They even asked for the recipe!
