This came from my son's second grade class cookbook. He is now in law school. I am posting a few recipes from this book.

Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 c butter
1 c sugar
2 Tbsp milk
1 tsp vanilla or 1/2 tsp rum extract depending on what flavor you are looking for in the holidays
2 1/2 c finely chopped red and/or green candied cherries
1/2 c finely chopped pecans
3/4 c flaked coconut
2 1/2 c flour (all purpose)

Steps:

  • 1. In a large bowl, beat the butter with an electric mixer for 30 seconds or until softened. Add sugar and beat until fluffy. Add milk and vanilla and beat well. Add flour and beat until well mixed. Stir in cherries and pecans. Divide dough into thirds. Shape each portion into a 7 inch roll. Roll each in 1/4 cup of the coconut to coat. Wrap and chill for several hours or OVERNIGHT (THIS IS BEST). Cut into 1/4 inch thick slices. Place on an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake at 375 degrees for 10 to 12 minutes or until the edges are browned. Cool on a wire cookie rack. Makes approximately 80 cookies.

Tips:

  • For the tastiest Santa's Whiskers, use high-quality chocolate and butter. Opt for semisweet or bittersweet chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 55% and unsalted butter for the best flavor.
  • Make sure the chocolate is finely chopped before melting it. This will help it melt evenly and smoothly.
  • Don't overheat the chocolate. If the chocolate is too hot, it can seize and become grainy.
  • To make the Santa's Whiskers look extra festive, sprinkle them with edible glitter or colored sugar before they set.
  • Store the Santa's Whiskers in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. They will keep for up to 2 weeks.

Conclusion:

Santa's Whiskers are a delicious and festive treat that are perfect for Christmas parties and gatherings. They're easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a tasty and beautiful dessert that will impress your friends and family.
