Cherry Sugar Cookie Cups
I love cherries all year round. They are perfect in the winter for Thanksgiving and Christmas. There was nothing like my grandma’s cherry pie! I can hear her now telling me she just baked a cherry pie and it was all for me.
I was blessed to have my grandparents live right below my house in our hollar. I would bring an empty stomach and sit and visit with her before climbing up the hill to go home. I’m guessing my grandma had been making cherry pies her whole life because that’s also my dad’s favorite.
It was a tradition in our family to have cherry pie every holiday. What about the 4th of July, Memorial Day, and other Patriotic holidays? YES! Cherries are perfect then, too! The color of the red cherries stands out!
With my grandmother’s pie in mind, I set out to adapt a recipe to show my love for cherry pies to something a bit different for our National Holidays!
