We Love To Decorate with Cherries
They are an all time favorite cookie on the Christmas tray!
Remember just leave out the coloring if you don't like it for a natural look.
Also, they are delicious all year long leaving all the festive additions out and keeping them natural in cookie dough in color.
Leave the Dough Plain?
You can just decorate them with red and green cherries and no artificial coloring.
Leave the dough plain, just tint the coconut and add a cherry for that festive Christmas look!

- Tint the coconut green or red with food coloring and water, let sit 3 minutes blot dry with paper towels.
