Ingredients
- 1 cup butter softened
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup maraschino cherries drained and finely chopped
- ½ cup pecans finely chopped
- ¾ cup sweetened flaked coconut
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Blend together sugar and vanilla until light and fluffy using mixer.
- Stir in flour, cherries, and pecans.
- Form dough into two logs, each about 8 inches long. Mine were more of an oval rather than a log so don't be disappointed if that happens with your dough. It will still taste delicious!
- Lay down two pieces of either plastic wrap or wax paper and sprinkle generously with the flaked coconut.
- Roll dough logs in the coconut covering all surfaces.
- Wrap in wax paper or plastic wrap and place in refrigerator chilling for several hours or overnight.
- Remove from refrigerator and slice dough logs ¼ inch thick.
- Place sliced cookie dough on cookie sheet and bake about 12 minutes, until the edges of the cookie are golden brown.
- Remove from oven.
- Cool on wire racks.
