Recipe Introduction
She gave me this as a mix for Christmas and I just today made them. Really good, but very rich so go easy on eating them.
List of Ingredients
2 cups powdered sugar
1/2 cup softened butter
1 Tablespoons good cocoa
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup flaked coconut
1/2 cup dried cherries soaked OVERNIGHT in Amareto, Rum, or Brandy
1/2 package chocolate cookie wafers, crushed
Cream powdered sugar and butter; add the cocoa, almond extract, vanilla extract. Mix well then add the flaked coconut.
Drain the cherries on a paper towel. Then wrap the creamed mixture around each cherry, and roll in the the crushed cookie crumbs. Store in airtight container and refrigerate.
Note: Patty had each ingredient in small zip lock bags and she added the extracts to the coconut. All I had to add was the softened butter. Even the cherries were soaked in the rum or brandy or what ever she used. They had soaked, I guess for several weeks and were very good. Had a few left over cherries and made short work of those. I kept the mix in the fridge until I was ready to make it.
