Winner Donna M. Farrell of Naperville entered her chocolate covered
cherry cookie recipe: "Christmas and chocolate-covered cherries are
forever entwined in my mind and memories. Not the expensive department
store kind, mind you, with their dark bitter chocolate and runny syrup,
but your basic Brach's. Each Christmas found the coveted white box
stretching my stocking, two layers of cream-filled heaven with a cherry
floating therein--and no requirement to share them with anyone. "Taste
and calories have kept me away from the box of delights for many years,
even after the incredible discovery that Brach's actually sold these
morsels all year long. (How my parents managed to deceive me on this,
I'll never know.) That is, until my mother-in-law came to Chicago one
autumn with the ultimate cookie. A Christmas tradition in one bite.
Nostalgia from the oven. Capable of reducing this 36-year-old woman's
taste buds and mentality to that of my 9-year-old daughter. A
chocolate-covered cherry cookie!" from the Chicago Tribune annual Food
Guide Holiday Cookie Contest December 4, 1986
