In 2018, I released a video on YouTube called My Holiday Traditions. In it, I talked about a cookie I developed as a kid called Cherry Jingle Bells and I mentioned the recipe would be linked in the description. Well, the problem was, I wasn’t sure at the time how to share it as a young 20-year-old. Now that I’m a mature 25-year-old, I’ve decided to make a blog post with the recipe. HistoryMy mom and I baked a lot throughout my childhood, especially at Christmas time. We’ve made sugar cookies, gingerbread, peanut butter blossoms, peppermint pinwheels, you name it. When I was 9 years old, I wanted to make a sandwich cookie. I told my mom about trying a cinnamon, almond cookie with strawberry filling. My mom suggested cherry would complement the flavors better and she was right. We made these cookies for the first time in 2007 for our holiday cookie exchange party at our new house, and they were a hit. We’ve made them every year since. Note, this recipe is a tweaked version of the sugar cookie recipe from Better Homes and Gardens New Cookbook INgredientsCookies

DecoratingAfter all the cookies are filled, get your icing and an offset spatula to frost the cookies. You can use the simple icing recipe above or you can use a simple royal icing recipe of your choosing. Nothing too heavy that overpowers the cookie. You want to add a small amount of icing to cover in a thin layer over the top of the cookie. That’s all there is to it. I hope you all enjoy these cookies; they are a favorite in my family. If you do make them, please show me by tagging me in photos on Instagram @littleanimatedmecomics or @littlemecomix on twitter. Thanks for reading, Happy Holidays and Have an ANIMATEDLY Happy New Year!!!
