Buy good-quality candied (glace) cherries, which are dry-packed, and not maraschino cherries. The Santas Whiskers are actually not that difficult to make. They are a basic sugar cookie recipe, but with the addition of the cherries and coconut and pecans. These are a slice and bake cookie, so the one thing to note is you will roll the cookie dough into a log shape and the dough does need to chill for several hours before slicing and baking.
