I got this recipe off of TOH.com with the only difference being the icing directions. I cooked them at 325 degrees for 18 minutes. I elected not to use the icing recipe listed here or there and used Recipe #273428. I subbed in two tablespoons of the maraschino cherry juice for the liquid called for in the recipe and omitted the vanilla. I made these for a Breast Cancer 50 Shades of Pink Bake Sale.
