Slice-and-bake Santa\u2019s Whiskers Cookies<\/strong> are a festive addition to any cookie tray! They\u2019re buttery, studded with candied cherries, full of almond flavor, and rolled in sweet shredded coconut.<\/p>\n

These sweet little treats are made with a rich, buttery dough (almost like Christmas Shortbread Cookies<\/a>) that\u2019s infused with almond extract. Candied cherries add sweetness and texture, while the coconut on the edges gives the cookies a delicate, crispy coating.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Taste & Texture: <\/strong>Sweet, buttery almond cookies with hints of coconut and cherry in every melt in your mouth bite. <\/p>\n

Ease to Make:<\/strong> Very easy! Slice-and-bake cookies are beginner friendly and great for prepping ahead of time too. No rolling pin or cookie cutters needed.<\/p>\n

Top Tip:<\/strong> Rotate the dough (log) a quarter turn after each slice to help maintain the circle shape. <\/p>\n

Freeze: <\/strong>Keep unsliced dough (logs) wrapped in plastic wrap and foil in the freezer for up to 3 months. <\/p>\n

Storage: <\/strong>Baked and cooled cookies can be kept in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
