My momma has been making these since I was little at Christmas time. They were MY favorite, therefore, Santa got them every year also! I now make them every year for me and my husband. I hope you enjoy them.

These cookies are so easy to make and they taste delicious. I love the combination of coconut and cherry. I will definitely be making these again and again.

I tried this recipe last night and it was a hit with my family! The coconut and cherry flavors complemented each other perfectly, and the cookies were moist and chewy. I will definitely be making these again.
