|  I found these cookies in the Better Home’s & Gardens Homemade Cookies Cook Book. I worked for BH&G in the 1980’s. They had a home party plan where I taught customers needlecrafts in their home. This book was one of the hostess gifts from BH&G. This is where I learned to cross stitch. I was hooked!
I bake dozens and dozens of cookie for my families Holiday parties. Usually each person brings a dish. I’m ALWAYS elected to bring the cookies! Each year I look for a new cookie recipe to try, but I always ask my daughters and son-in-laws for their special request and these cookies are always included on the Christmas Cookie list! Enjoy! Happy Holidays! Karen              |

| Step by Step |
| 1) In mixing bowl, using an electric mixer, cream together butter, and sugar. 2) Blend in milk and vanilla. 3) Stir in flour, chopped candied cherries and chopped pecans. Dough will be stiff. 4) Form dough into two or more 8 inch rolls or logs. 5) Roll in flaked coconut to coat outside. 6) Wrap in waxed paper or clear plastic wrap; place in refrigerator to chill thoroughly (at least 1-2 hours). 7) Cut into about 1/4 inch slices with a sharp knife. Place on ungreased cookie sheet.  Bake at 375 degrees till edges are golden, about 12 minutes. Makes about 60.9) Serve and Enjoy! NOTE: You can use the green candied cherries also—I just love the bright color of the red ones for these cookies! |
