Time 30m

Yield 100 cookies or so, 100 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup butter
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons leftover cherry juice
1 teaspoon orange extract (or vanilla, whatever you prefer)
2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup chopped drained maraschino cherry
1 1/4 cups flaked coconut

Steps:

  • Cream butter and sugar together until fluffy, then blend in juice from drained cherries and extract.
  • Mix in flour until combined then stir in coconut and cherries.
  • Shape the dough into rolls in plastic wrap(this will be very sticky!) and place in fridge for a few hours until firm (or freeze until needed).
  • Preheat oven to 380°F
  • remove from fridge and slice into rounds and place on an ungreased cookie sheet and bake for about 10-12 minutes.
  • I did mine convection at 360 for about 10 minutes also.
  • Bake until edges are slightly brown.
