Dawn or Eeka, do either of you have a recipe for the Santa’s Whiskers cookies – just curious as to whether or not I know what kind of cookies they are???

Eeka Mouse says:Santa Claus’s Whiskers are a shortbread cookie with bits of red & green candied cherries in the dough, rolled in shredded coconut to give ‘whiskery effects at the edges.
Recipe (makes 5 dozen):
1 cup butter
1 cup white granulated sugar
2 tablespoons milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups allpurpose flour
3/4 cup finely chopped red & green candied cherries
1/2 cup chopped pecan (I omit these)
3/4 cup sweetened shredded coconut
Cream butter, sugar, milk & vanilla. Mix in flour, cherries, nuts. Form into 4 rolls,1 inc in diameter, aprox, 8 inches long. Roll logs in coconut to coat, Wrap in waxed paper, chill several hours
(or freeze).
Slice cold rolls 1/4 inch thick. Place on ungreased cookie sheet & bake in 375 F preheated oven aprox 12 minutes.(Edges should just be beginning to tun golden.)
