- Fold in flour, green cherries, pecans and coconut with a wooden spoon.
- Roll mixture into balls and place onto baking sheets sprayed with cooking spray.
- (I kept my hands moist while rolling).

Notes
NOTE: My cookies took about 16 minutes to bake.
NOTE: Even though this is a sticky dough, avoid the temptation to add additional flour. Just keep your hands moist while rolling. The cookies spread out well during baking time.
