Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Cream the butter and sugar. The add the eggs. Stir in vanilla, cherry juice, baking powder, baking soda, and slat. Add the chopped pecans and the flour, and mix well.

Crush the corn flakes and put them in a small bowl. Roll the dough into walnut-sized balls and roll the balls in the crushed cornflakes.
