Christmas Drop Cookies

Well it is the time of year for this one right. This recipe card is from Aunt Evelyn, and I am sure it is delicious! Just a note, that this makes LOTS of cookies, 12-15 dozen, so you may want to trim it down based on your need. Also this recipe is not one of those quick and easy one bowl jobs....but the results will be worth it!

2lbs candied cherries cut in 3 pieces drained
