Ingredients

Steps

  • 1
    In large bowl, break up cookie dough. Stir or knead in 1/4 cup flour until well blended. (DO NOT EAT RAW COOKIE DOUGH AFTER COMBINING WITH FLOUR.) Reshape into log. If too soft to cut into slices, refrigerate up to 30 minutes.
  • 2
    Heat oven to 350°F. In medium bowl, mix coconut, sugar, 1 tablespoon flour, the almond extract and egg white until well blended.
  • 3
    Cut cookie dough into 32 slices. On ungreased cookie sheets, place slices 2 inches apart. On each slice, spoon 1 rounded teaspoon coconut, spreading slightly. Press 1 cherry half, cut side down, on each.
  • 4
    Bake 12 to 15 minutes or until edges are light golden brown. Cool 1 minute; remove from cookie sheets to cooling racks.

  • If you don't get the cookies off the cookie sheet in time and they start to stick, pop the cookie sheet back in the hot oven for a minute or two. The heat should soften the cookies slightly, making removal easier.
