Valentine's Cookies--Love With Cherries On Top!

1. Buy refrigerated sugar cookie dough that comes in a roll.

2. Throw away wrapper and wrap dough in your own saran so no one will
know you didn't make it yourself.

3. Make Cherry Topping:

1 1/2 cups cherry pie filling

1/2 cup chopped nuts

1/2 cup flaked coconut

3 tablespoons granulated sugar

4. Slice the chilled dough about 1/4-inch thick and place the slices on ungreased baking sheets about 1-1/2 inches apart. (Remember to remove plastic wrap.)

5. Using the back of a teaspoon, make a small depression in the center of each cookie and fill with about 1 teaspoon of the cherry topping.

6. Bake until golden. (Oops, dig wrapper with instructions out of waste basket. Consult about cooking time and oven temperature. ) Cool on the baking sheets, then remove the cookies, using a spatula.

7. Serve with champagne. And it'll certainly be a PRIME TIME for you!
