Method (preview)

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 375F. In a medium bowl, cream together the shortening or butter, sugar, eggs and vanilla until light and fluffy.

2. 2

   Sift the salt, flour and baking soda together into a small bowl and gradually blend them into the egg mixture.

3. 3

   Mix in the coconut until it's well-combined.

4. 4

   Drop tablespoonfuls of dough onto lightly greased or parchment-lined baking sheets; press each drop down slightly to form a roughly round shape.

5. 5

   Bake the cookies for 10 minutes, or until they're light golden brown and just firm to the touch.

6. 6

   As soon as the hugs come out of the oven, plunk half of a candied cherry (round-side up, of course!) into the center of each cookie and press down gently.

7. 7

   Cool the cookies completely on a wire rack.
