Instructions
In a large bowl, cream sugar and shortening until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg, milk and vanilla.
Combine dry ingredients; gradually add to the creamed mixture and mix well.
Form 2 teaspoons of dough into a ball. Flatten ball with a glass coated with cooking spray.
Place a cherry in the center; roll dough around cherry. Repeat with remaining dough and cherries.
Place balls 2-in. apart on ungreased baking sheets.
Bake at 350° for 10-12 minutes or until set and the edges are lightly browned. Cool 1 minute before removing to wire racks to cool completely.
Grate 2 oz. white candy coating; set aside. In a microwave, melt remaining white coating with 2 tablespoons shortening; stir until smooth. Melt dark coating with remaining shortening in a microwave; stir until smooth.
Dip half the cookies into white coating; allowing excess to drip off.
Sprinkle with pecans. Dip the remaining cookies in dark coating; allow excess to drip off.
Sprinkle with grated white coating.
Let stand until set. Store in a covered container in the refrigerator.
Recommended wine: Sparkling Wine, Sparkling Rose
Sparkling Wine and Sparkling rosé are my top picks for Antipasti. If you're serving a selection of appetizers, you can't go wrong with these. Both are very food friendly and complement a variety of flavors. You could try Nature's Revenge Pet Nat rosé. Reviewers quite like it with a 4.8 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 19 dollars per bottle.

Nature's Revenge Pet Nat Rose
Notes of raspberry and wild berries with some hints of grapefruit. After a few minutes, the wine will display some clementine and white peach aromas. The wine is truly alive. The wine is mouth-filling silky and dry (there is no residual sugar) but the fruitiness in the palate tends to make you think differently – the acidity is moderate, and the final goes onto fig jam hints with a tiny touch of saltiness (like an ocean breeze).
