CHERRY WINKS 
2 1/4 c. Pillsbury's Best enriched flour
1 tsp. double acting baking powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
3/4 c. butter
1 c. sugar
2 unbeaten eggs
2 tbsp. milk
1 tsp. French's vanilla
1 c. Faunsten's pecans, chopped
1 c. dates, chopped
1/3 c. maraschino cherries, drained and chopped
2 1/2 c. corn flakes, crushed coarsely

Sift flour, baking powder, soda, and salt together. Cream butter, and gradually add sugar, creaming well. Add egg, milk, and vanilla; beat well. Blend in the dry ingredients gradually; mix thoroughly.

Add pecans, dates, and cherries. Mix well. If desired chill dough before shaping. Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls into corn flakes. Toss lightly to coat; shape into balls. Place on greased baking sheets. Top each with 1/4 maraschino cherry. Bake in 375 degree oven 12-15 minutes.

If you use Pillsbury's Best Enriched Self-Rising Flour (sold in parts of the South), omit baking powder and salt; decrease soda to 1/4 teaspoon.
