As the executive chef at Harveys, a resort hotel in Lake Tahoe, I modified this classic recipe, which originated a century ago at a renowned pastry shop in Vienna, Austria. —Norbert Koblitz, Lake Tahoe, Nevada

Ingredients

  • 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
  • 3-1/2 cups almond paste
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2/3 cup sugar
  • 5 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
  • Red candied cherries, halved

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°. In a food processor or blender, process coconut until finely chopped; set aside. Beat almond paste until crumbled. Gradually add flour, sugar and coconut; mix well. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition; beat until smooth. Stir in nuts.
  2. Cut a small hole in the tip of a pastry bag; insert a large star tip. Transfer dough to bag. Pipe 1-in.-diameter cookies 2 in. apart onto parchment-lined baking sheets. Top with cherries. Bake until golden brown, 15-20 minutes. Cool 5 minutes before removing to wire racks.
