Festive Chewy Cherry Cookies
- 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
- 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 380u0b0F
- 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.
