Cherry Flips

1 cup butter

2 egg yolks

½ teaspoon salt

½ cup confectioners sugar

2 ½ cups all-purpose flour

2 teaspoons almond extract

36 maraschino cherries

½ cup flaked coconut

Blend together the butter, egg yolks, vanilla, salt, confectioners sugar and flour.

Take small amount of dough in hand , flatted out and wrap around drained cherry. ( I use a combination of red and green cherries and tint the icing to match the color of the cherry. )

Bake on ungreased cookie sheet at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) until golden brown (about 10 minutes).

Cool and dip in tinted butter icing. Roll in coconut flakes. ENJOY!
