    Dayle's NOTE: I have never made these with the nuts or dates, although I have added some  choc. chips
    and those were excellent! Have some additional cherry pieces for decoration.

    Crush cornflakes to measure 1 1/3 c.  Set aside.  Cream together marg. and  sugar.
    Beat in eggs one at a time, then milk and vanilla.  Mix in baking  powder, then flour,
    stir in nuts, dates, cherries or choc. chips.
    Roll into  small balls, roll in cornflake crumbs to coat.  Top each ball with a piece of  cherry.
    Place on greased cookie sheet.  Bake until lightly brown.  375 deg.  for 10 min.
