These are very delicious cookie balls with marshmallows and maraschino cherries rolled in coconut. I like to make them every year for my Christmas cookie platter. The kids just love these , course so do the adults. "Photo and recipe provided courtesy of Kraft Food & Family magazine, www.kraftfoods.com.
