 butter, some sugar, optional eggs, a little spice and salt, perhaps a few
 drops of almond extract and/or vanilla, and flour. They can have some
 chopped nuts added, or pecan halves on top.
 
 Thanks for reminding me; I've still got some sitting in the freezer.

And fine cookies they are too! I had the pleasure of tasting Henry's cookies 
at the Blackstone Raid a few years ago. He and I had entered the Dessert 
contest and when the Baron/Baroness was judging the entries, one of his 
cookies accidentally broke and landed in the Cheryon I had entered. The 
Baron/ess scooped up the cherry mixture with cookie and pronounced the 
combinations wonderful. Henry and I were both declared the first place 
winners regardless of the fact we were the only entrants. Because only one 
first prize was available, the Baron took a sterling silver ankh off his 
person and each of us were presented with a bauble. It was that experience 
and some very good advice from Henry about my Cheryon effort that opened up 
the world of period sweet dishes to me. I don't think I ever thanked him for 
that so thanks, Henry. :-)
