These cookies are beyond addicting. I made them at Christmas and they were the first cookies to go.

• Cream butter and cream cheese together by hand. Add sugar and egg yolk and combine together. Add flour and vanilla.

• Drain maraschino cherries; dry them on a paper towel and cut them in half.

• Roll dough into small balls and place on a nonstick cookie sheet.
