These are absolutely amazing! I made half topped with coconut and half without...they look prettier with the coconut. I also dusted them all with a little powdered sugar..they look like snowballs and taste...well...they literally melt in your mouth!
You can benefit from a freestanding mixer with this recipe, you have to whip the dough for 10 minutes...I used a hand held mixer and I'll tell you, it was so worth it that I'm making another batch tomorrow!
These are very delicate cookies, not too sweet and they won't travel too well so these won't be good for a long distance cookie tin, but will be great on a cookie tray for home or work.
I hope you all try these, they are truly delectable and not too difficult to make...only three cookie ingredients and coconut and marachino cherries to decorate. YUM....enjoy. Colette
