With all the yummy Christmas treats I’ve already shared, I have ONE MORE post-Christmas cookie idea that you’re sure to love. I think it would make an EXCELLENT Valentine’s Day Cookie recipe…but if nothing else, these Cherry Coconut Cookies are so yummy and deliciously easy to make! My mom gave me the recipe a while ago, but she made them for Christmas this year and I can’t stop eating them!! They are so soft and buttery and just delicious…

These cookies have been passed down as a family recipe for a number of years. You can add more cherry juice and take away the almond extract if you want the pretty pink color shown in the photos.

I made these for my son’s school and I had the school secretary calling me saying that the teachers all wanted the recipe for these amazing cherry cookies!

If you like this recipe, you’ll love my GREEN Cherry version of these same cookies. They are just as delicious and even better for a St. Patrick’s Day cookie!!

    I tried making these cookies once with Crisco and the second time with butter. Both times, they came out flat and greasy tasting. What did I do wrong? I don’t know if I want to try a third time

      Hi Susan, I emailed you a response back but wanted to let you know that this happened to me before too and it turned out that my baking soda was expired. Ironically, they came out very flat and chewy and I sent them into school anyways…the next day the school secretary called me and asked me for the recipe because all the teachers loved them! LOL. I explained that they actually didn’t turn out the way they should have and that you follow the recipe in this post, but use expired baking soda.

      I’m sorry you had this issue, but I’d put money on the baking soda being your issue here. I made the exact recipe this week for Christmas and had no issues. Thanks for your feedback.

  • Here’s another memory from our recent trip to Maui, since I’m a warm weather girl at heart ☀️ We got matching mommy and me flower crowns, called Haku Lei, for a family photo shoot. @petite.maui  blew it out of the water with these gorgeous orchid-filled crowns, the smallest one for our littlest girl. So sweet 🌺 #hawaii #maui #flowercrown #tropicalvibes🌴 #mauivacation #princess #hawaiianlife #hawaiianprincess #familytravel #familytrip #familytime #minime #love #mommyandme #sisters #sisterlove #tropical #tropicalescape #tropicalvacation #travel #lifestyle #travelgram
  • We just returned from Maui and I’m already ready to go back. Between the sunshine, crystal clear water, and amazing food, it is truly paradise on earth. We stayed very low-key and played at the beach most of the time,  but did discover some very cool spots to explore, even with kids! More to come soon on the website. #travelwithkids #maui #bestbeaches #napilibay #westmaui #familieswhotravel #travelingwithtoddlers #hawaiivacation #babybeach #whalewatching #wanderlust #bucketlist #familytime #mauilife #familyadventures #thecardswedrew #travel #lifestyle #travelgram #travelblogger #traveltheworld
