Bake for 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely. Sandwich one teaspoon of jam between two cookies. Repeat with remaining cookies. In a medium bowl, gradually stir the milk into the confectioners' sugar until the icing is of a spreadable consistency. Spread on top of the sandwiched cookies. Top each cookie with half of a cherry while the icing is still wet.

Chicken and Corn Chili
This chicken and corn chili is an easy slow cooker meal. Use your imagination and season it up as you like. Great on a c-c-c-cold winter night! I serve this with grated cheese, sour cream, chopped cilantro, and green onions with flour tortillas on the side.
Easy Creamy Pesto
I use pre-made or prepared pesto to make this easy creamy sauce. Pesto concentrate also works great. It's a very simple and really tasty sauce. Great over pasta, veggies, and chicken.
Carne Picada Tacos
Carne picada is a cross between carne asada and ground beef. These tacos are simple and easy to make. I love to top mine with cilantro, onions, a squeeze of fresh lime and salsa.
