TIDBITS "The original recipe for Cherry Winks was created by Ruth Derousseau, who submitted it to Pillsbury’s 2nd Grand National Recipe & Baking Contest in 1951. The cookies have a crispy cornflake crunch on the outside, followed by layer of chewy cookie, and then the inside soft but full of crunch and chew from the addition of nuts, dates, and maraschino cherries."

Recipe for this fluffy "bread" is 3 Eggs separated 1 tsp of baking powder 3TBSP cream cheese
Place egg WHITES into mixing bowl and add the baking powder. Turn mixer on to beat egg whites to firm peak.
In another bowl whip egg YOLKS with a wire wisp. Add 2 ounces of cream cheese and mix well with the egg yolks.
Once the egg whites are stiff and the egg yolk mixture is mixed well, carefully fold egg yolk mixture into egg whites.
You want the mixture to stay fluffy and full of air.
Spoon individual piles onto cookie sheet with parchment paper or silicone sheets on them.
Bake at 325 degrees F for 20-30 minutes depending on your oven and how brown you want them.
The vanilla and sugar are optional.
If you want to use them as taco shells put Mexican seasoning in the batter. For Pizza crust put Italian seasoning in the batter. Work great for hamburger buns. Let your imagination go wild.
Once the bread is cool, place in airtight container. (May be zip-lock bag.). Let set for at least 5 hours or overnight. This causes the chewy texture to become more like bread. You can toast it when you pull it out to use it and it is delicious.
