I made these cherry bars for a Christmas gathering. They were a hit. I did not use coconut, since most of my in-laws don't like it, and it didn't matter because they were still wonderful. I bake a lot, so these bars were simple to make. Next time I will add more cherries, they really are the best part. I cut the cherries in half and blotted them dry with a paper towel, so they didn't release much liquid when they baked. No one wants soggy cookie bars. I used green and red maraschino cherries which looked beautiful for the holidays.
