These cookies are a family tradition. They are very tasty - a soft cookie with the crunch of cornflakes on the outside. The dates and cherries taste great and make the cookies look pretty. My mother used to make them and when I was a young child, it was my job to place the cherry on top! These are still a family favorite and my children now help make them, too!
