Happy Monday all! Time to start baking! I came upon Jenn's Virtual Cookie Exchange and just KNEW that you all needed the recipe for my favorite Christmas cookies. Here's a picture of my first batch. These cookies make a great gift as they have festive colors.
Introducing:
SANTA'S WHISKERS
1 cup butter
1 cup sugar
2 TBL milk
1 tsp vanilla
2 1/2 cups sifted flour
3/4 cup finely chopped red and green candied cherries (I always add a 1/4 cup more just for color!)
1/2 cup finely chopped pecans
3/4 cup flaked coconut
Cream together butter and sugar. Blend in milk and vanilla. Stir in flour, candied cherries and nuts. Form into 2 logs, approximately 2 inches in diameter and 8 inches long. Roll in coconut flakes. Wrap in wax paper and place in a sealed bag or container. Chill several hours or overnight.
Slice into 1/4 inch think slices. Bake @350 for 12 minutes or until edges are golden. Makes about 4-5 dozen cookies.
