Ooo I want to try my hand at this for sure! Do you bake often?
I’m so happy I found your recipe. This has been standard fare for every baby shower! Now I can continue the tradition. 🙂
I’ve never seen nor heard of this recipe but it looks so good! I love that it has coconut in it. Thank you for this delicious recipe.
My hubby keeps talking about a cherry square that his mom used to make and I think this sounds like it (or at least close). Thanks for sharing it, definitely going to try it out!
You’ll have to let me know if this recipe was close to the one that you hubby’s Mom used to make.
this sounds yummy, I love these cherries so this is my kind of food :-). My mum used to make scones with cherries in them, delicious.
OMG Cherry Scones would be delicious!
Mmmmm, sounds very good, something different to make instead of the same thing all the time, thanks for sharing!!
Thanks for sharing,these sure sound delicious!
