Cook in a preheated 375 degree oven for 10-12 minutes, depending big you roll the balls. Smaller ones might only take about 8 minutes)
While the cookies are cooking, take your maraschino cherries, dry them off with a paper towel, and cut them in half.
After cookies come out of oven, put on rack to cool and place a cherry in the middle of the cookie.
Notes
Another option for these cookies that my mom would do was to roll the cookie into powdered sugar, and instead of putting a cherry on, she would but a blanched almond slice on top before cooking.
