(With apologies to
Moore)...
T’was some days before Christ
mas, when all through the house,
not a creature was stirring. We D-
Con-ed the mouse. The Farmer
and I had just just climbed into
bed, when alas!, came that sound
that we’ve long learned to dread.
Next to the bed there arose such a
clatter. When that phone rings at
bedtime, there’s something the
matter. But to our great relief a
loved voice we did hear, t’was our
West Coast offspring greeting our
ears. . .

Chary Winks and I can’t find my
recipe. Could you get yours and
read off the ingredients to me?”
I headed back downstairs to the
kitchen, retrieved the recipe from
the Cookie section of the file and,
(holding it six-inches from my
nose because I’d removed my
contact lenses) deciphered the in
gredients from between the
splotches of butter and mara
schino cherry juice splatters.
“That’s what Moms for for,” I
laughed, to her apologies for the
late night call.
Christmas isn’t Christmas in
our family without Cherry Winks.

But the recipe is jinxed. We all
keep losing our copies.
I first tasted these as a teen
ager, employed by friends at their
stand in York’s downtown Central
Fanners’ Market Christmas cook
ies woe a seasonal specialty of the
stand and I probably ate all the
profits that first week I tasted the
Cherry Winks.
As a young bride, I wanted to
bake Cherry Winks for The Farm
er. But no one I knew had ever
heard fo them. So, two weeks be
fore the holidays, I submitted
letter to a local newspaper’s recipe"
exchange, in search of the elusive
cookie ingredients. The deluge of
several dozen letters, cards and
cheery holiday greetings included
with the flood of recipes that land
ed in our mailbox made Christmas
very special that year.
Just a few days after the late
night call from Portland, the
phone rang again. This time, it
was our son’s girlfriend, seeking
out a Christmas cookier recipe.
Guess what she wanted?
Christmas wouldn’t be Christ
mas in our family without Cherry
Winks. There are chopped dates.
