Here is the actual recipe and it is at least 30 years old!
Drain the cherries. Press 1 tablespoon of dough around a well drained cherry making sure to cover the whole cherry. Repeat this for all the cherries. Then bake at 350° for 12 to 15 minutes on an ungreased cookie sheet.
You can make an icing with confectionary sugar and a teaspoon or two of water till you get a liquid consistency or just powder it on if you prefer it that way. Serve and enjoy.
