  5. Stir in well, 3 cups coconut.
  6. Cover and chill 1 hour or til firm enough to handle and roll into balls.

  8. Shape dough into 1 inch balls, roll into last cup of coconut. You can lightly press it on a little.
  9. Place onto ungreased cookie sheet.
  10. Bake 12-15 minutes (MINE TOOK 15! *the original recipe said 10-12 and that wasn't EVEN long enough, they sank after I took them out and had to re-bake them!)or until lightly browned. I suggest at LEAST 13 minutes, but again, mine took 15.
  11. Leave them on the cookie sheet 1 minute, then carefully and gently remove to wire racks to cool.
  12. *You can gently press a maraschino cherry half in the center of each cookie on top, if desired, before baking.
