Santa’s Whiskers Cookie
From: Jamie Sanders @ www.scatteredthoughtsofacraftymom.com/santas-whiskers-cookie-recipe/
The Santa's Whiskers are actually not that difficult to make. They are a basic sugar cookie recipe, but with the addition of the cherries and coconut and pecans. These are a slice and bake cookie, so the one thing to note is you will roll the cookie dough into a log shape and the dough does need to chill for several hours before slicing and baking.
If you’re having a big baking day, I would make this dough in the morning and just let it chill while you bake your other cookies. Or make the dough the day before and then let it chill overnight.
This Santa’s Whiskers Cookie Recipe is always a hit with the kids and is the perfect cookie for Holiday Cookie Exchanges! If you’re planning on giving Santa’s Whiskers as a gift or at a cookie exchange, don’t forget to include a recipe card with your cookies.

1 cup butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1-cup red candied cherries, finely chopped
1/2 cup pecans, finely chopped
1 cup flaked coconut

Stir in cherries and pecans.
Shape into three 7″ rolls.
Roll in coconut to coat.
Wrap and chill for several hours.
Preheat oven to 375F.
Cut into 1/4″ thick slices.
