1/2 c powdered sugar
1 Tbsp water
1 tsp vanilla
2 c flour
1 c quick-cooking oats
1/2 tsp salt
36 maraschino cherries, well drained
Coating:
2 c powdered sugar
1/4 - 1/3 c milk
2 c flaked coconut, finely chopped
In a mixing bowl, cream butter, sugar, water, and vanilla. Combine flour, oats, and salt; gradually add to the creamed mixture. Shape a Tbsp-ful of dough around each cherry, forming a ball. Place 2" apart on ungreased baking sheets. Bake at 350 degrees for 18-20 min or until bottoms are browned. Remove to wire racks to cool. Combine sugar and enough milk to achieve smooth dipping consistency. Dip cookies, then roll in coconut. Makes 3 dozen.
