List of Ingredients




2 (3- ounce) packages straw- berry gelatin
1 cup finely ground coconut, see note
3/4 cup sweetened condensed milk
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 cup finely ground pecans
Red- and green-colored sugar

Recipe



Mix gelatin, coconut, milk, vanilla and pecans. Chill for at least 4 hours or overnight.

Shape small amounts (about a teaspoon) into balls. Dip one end into green sugar. Roll remaining end and sides in red sugar, squeezing lightly to shape into a strawberry (grip the middle of the ball with three fingers and your thumb, gently press down and squeeze the ball into a slightly triangular shape). Place the plastic stem into the flat end of your strawberry.

Allow to dry on a baking sheet in the refrigerator overnight. Keep tightly covered in storage containers in refrigerator. Will retain shape and texture for long periods.

The yield depends on how large or small you make the strawberries. To make the cookies look more authentic, we made a mixture of small to medium and large strawberries.

2 1/2 dozen.
