Noel Cookies

Submitted by Diana 2

"Our daughter simply adores these cookies. They are only ever made for Christmas, so that in itself makes them special. These freeze very well, so you can bake ahead and hide. Too bad I can't hide them from myself. :) I think this may have been a Robin Hood recipe from many years ago, but I'm not completely certain."

Just had to try these out (sort of a test run for a new cookie to include on my baking list for the next round of end-of-the-year holidays, & the 'Noels' did make the cut ~ They're REALLY GREAT, & we especially liked the 3-Cs combo of chip, coconut & cherry! Definitely a keeper of a recipe! [Made & reviewed for one of my groupmates in the Aus/NZ Recipe Swap #38]
