Cherry Snowball Cookies image

This is a version of the popular snowball cookies. Cherries, coconut, and walnuts have been added. They are easy to make, not overly sweet, and make a pretty festive pink color inside from the addition of the chopped maraschino cherries.

These cookies were a bit dry, but the cream cheese frosting helped to make them more moist. I would probably add a little bit of milk to the cookie dough next time.

These cookies were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I think I would reduce the amount of sugar in the frosting next time.
