The most joyous of all holiday recipes. The Santa’s Whiskers recipe produces soft, slice-and-bake cookies with almond flavor, coconut flakes, and cherry bits.
Santa’s Whiskers Cookies are a cute slice-and-bake treat that I’m offering today. After learning about these cookies from my cousin Mary Cantrell, I had to share them this holiday season.
These almond-flavored cookies are rolled in coconut, decorated with festive cherries, and baked until the edges turn brown. They certainly are lovely.
