Santa’s Whiskers
Refrigerator or "icebox" cookies with chopped cherries and pecans, rolled in flaked coconut. Festive and easy!
Makes about 60
1 cup butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1-cup red candied cherries, finely chopped
1/2 cup pecans, finely chopped
1 cup flaked coconut
In a large mixer bowl beat butter till softened. Add sugar and beat till fluffy. Add milk and vanilla and beat well. Add flour and beat until well mixed. Stir in cherries and pecans. Shape into three 7" rolls. Roll in coconut to coat. Wrap and chill for several hours. Preheat oven to 375F. Cut into 1/4" thick slices. Place on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake about 12 minutes or until done. Remove and cool.
Lots of yummy ingredients in these festive cookies. As we finish our countdown, I thought Santa was a perfect place to stop. So, ho,ho, ho and shop til you drop.
This our final post gives us a lot of last minute stocking stuffers that you better buy now.
Thank you for all your participation and support during our 3rd Annual Countdown to Christmas.
