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.
