These were good. They could have used just a little more flavoring. Maybe some of the juice out of the cherries or something. Still, very good and we enjoyed it! Thanks for sharing!1Reply

Wow Karen=^..^= these are just beautiful and they taste great. Very quick and easy to make. I especially loved the flavouring of cherry and coconut. What a big bold taste in a cookie. These will be gracing my christmas trays this year, thanks so much for sharing.1Reply
