Ingredients

1 cup
Land O Lakes® Butter, softened
3/4 cup
sugar
3/4 cup
firmly packed brown sugar
2
large Land O Lakes® Eggs
1 1/2 teaspoons
vanilla
2 1/4 cups
all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons
baking powder
1/4 teaspoon
baking soda
2 1/2 cups
sweetened flaked coconut
30
red or green candied cherries, halved

Directions

  1. Heat oven to 350°F. Combine butter, sugar, brown sugar, eggs and vanilla in large bowl. Beat at medium speed, scraping bowl often, until creamy. Reduce speed to low; add flour, baking powder and baking soda. Beat until well mixed. Stir in coconut.
  2. Drop dough by rounded teaspoonfuls, 2 inches apart, onto ungreased cookie sheets. Press 1 cherry half onto center of each cookie. Bake for 9 to 13 minutes or until edges begin to brown. Remove from cookie sheets.

Recipe Tips

Proper storing keeps cookies at their best. If you will not be eating your cookies within three days, freeze them. Make sure the cookies are completely cool before placing them in storage containers. Otherwise, they’re likely to stick together. Keep soft or chewy cookies separate from crisp ones.

I made this recipe several years ago at Christmas time and loved it. They are moist, chewy and full of coconut flavor. They are now a regualr cookie I bake at Christmas and other times of the year.

The very first time I made this recipe it became a family favorite... my teen daughter, who is not even a huge fan of sweets, said, as she ate one warm from the oven, "they are like a cloud of warm coconutty goodness."

This recipe is wonderful. The cookie is soft and chewy and the flavor is yummy. I omitted the candied cherries, as I am not a fan of them. Will definitely make this recipe again.
