Cherry and Peanut Butter Winks
By Sue Lau | Palatable Pastime
Cherry and Peanut Butter Winks is my recipe of the day. It is the last cookie recipe I will be making this season. And I thought I might squeeze them into the schedule in case you were still hunting for recipes. I always have a few holiday recipes coming down to the wire and the crunch time becomes decision time as to what to share with you.

I wanted to have a few more cookies on hand for the holiday and have not done anything peanut butter in awhile. Plus my husband loves thumbprints. So these are a hit.
The hit part for me is that it moves out the last of my candied glace cherries. And a little bit of jam. I have another recipe for a jam tart tomorrow that cleared some of that out. Don’t you love using up your end of season bits? Plus, it means one less thing to buy. My jaw is still dropping at the high grocery prices.
