Love. This. Recipe.

You use maraschino cherries on your hot fudge sundae. But you gotta try this. Put them in Cherry Coconut Cookies and swoon.

Maraschino cherries are bright red, flavored with sweetener and almond flavoring, and processed in sugar syrup. When chopped and added to cookie dough with coconut and pecans, the cherries add a colorful touch to these delicious, fruity cookies. They are just one type of cherry you can use in cookie recipes … and a good one!

Prep time: 15 minutes
Bake time: 9-12 minutes
Makes about 3 dozen cookies

Bluprint: DIY Free for 7 Days


If you like to make or bake or build or create – or if you’re into DIY – you’ll want to spend some time wandering around Bluprint’s site for ideas (formerly Craftsy.)

I confess that I nearly go on overload when I log on. It’s so much fun! You can search all kinds of classes and downloadable tutorials. Just tune in on your own schedule and re-watch as often as you like. Plus find plenty of support along the way in chat forums with fellow enthusiasts in art, quilting, paper craft, embroidery, photography, gardening, spinning, woodworking, baking, cooking, jewelry making…

One thing I like to do is regularly check Bluprint’s free classes listing. Have fun. I know I will.
