Coconut Cherry Almond Cookies

These are a buttery rich cookie with almond flavor. They are always on our cookie tray every year. I love these myself personally anytime but during the holiday tinted green they sure make a great addition to any cookie tray.

A Favorite Christmas Tray Cookie

These are one of the must make cookies for our Christmas tray every year.


Not just because they are green, white and red for the colorful effect on our tray but because they are so darn delicious.


This is the most asked for cookie every year from everyone in the family.


Of course it helps if you love the coconut and cherry combinations.

Buttery Cookie

The cookie goes great with coffee or tea and has a delicate buttery flavor that enhances the coconut almond flavor.


These are really addicting.

Easy Dough to work with

The cookie is so easy to make. These coconut cherry almond cookies can be made in no time with little effort.



The dough is soft and doesn't spread too far. I like to make a double batch since I give many away.


I just love the green tint in the dough and the snowy coconut for that Christmas look.



Then all you have to do is add the cherry on top and viola, you have the perfect Christmas cookie!
