What an interesting looking cookie! These buttery, crunchy, chewy gems are little round disks speckled with green and red cherries with toasted coconut on the outside. They are like no other cookie I've had before, and make for a lovely presentation on your Christmas cookie tray. I doubled the amount of chopped candied cherries using 1/4 cup of red and 1/4 cup of green cherries (I'm going to try 3/4 cup of candied cherries next time). The serving size is on target at 48 cookies (or 4 dozen). Forgot to mention these were a big hit at my daughter's school and husband's work! Thanks for posting your recipe!
