Cream butter and sugar in large mixer bowl until light and fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla; blend well. Combine dry ingredients; gradually add to creamed mixture, blending thoroughly. Shape heaping teaspoonfuls of dough into 3"x1" fingers; place on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for 8 to 10 minutes, or until set but not hard. Cool slightly; remove from cookie sheet to wire rack. Top with Chocolate Glaze and sprinkle with chopped nuts, if desired. Garnish with cherry half.
