Ingredients

2 boxes		boxes of biscuits — plain, tea or other, but without chocolate glaze
2 packs		cow's butter (1 large pack of 250 grams)
1 tea cup	220 ml	ground walnuts
1 tea cup	220 ml	powdered sugar
—		granulated sugar for rolling
2 pcs		powdered vanilla
3		egg yolks
—		red confectioner's food coloring

Let the butter soften. Mix the soft butter with the powdered sugar and the vanilla.
Add the ground walnuts and the biscuits — also ground.
Add the egg yolks and mix well.
You will get a thick dough, from which you should form little balls — your cherries.
To make them look like real cherries, color them with red confectioner's food coloring.
To give the colored cherries an even more radiant look, roll them in crystal (granulated) sugar.
To make your sweets look like real cherries, insert pine needles (because they are longer), which will play the role of stems.

Note: If you have no pine needles on hand, use small cocktail swords or those with little animals and flowers.
