There cherry cookies I developed last year after I had some leftover cherries to use up. This is now one of my favorite cookies I make for the Christmas season.

Cherry Cookies
1 cup
butter
3/4 cup
sugar
1/2 cup
brown sugar
2 tablespoons leftover
cherry juice
1 teaspoon orange extract (or vanilla, whatever you prefer)
2 3/4 cups
all-purpose flour
1 cup chopped drained
maraschino cherry
1 1/4 cups
flaked coconut
Directions
1. Cream butter and sugar together until fluffy, then blend in juice from drained cherries and extract.
2. Mix in flour until combined then stir in coconut and cherries.
3. Shape the dough into rolls in plastic wrap(this will be very sticky!) and place in fridge for a few hours until firm (or freeze until needed).
4. Preheat oven to 380°F
5. remove from fridge and slice into rounds and place on an ungreased cookie sheet and bake for about 10-12 minutes.
6. I did mine convection at 360 for about 10 minutes also.
7. Bake until edges are slightly brown.
