Coconut Cranberry Chews

For some reason I have gone crazy this Christmas and decided to make an enormous amount of different kinds of cookies. I chose these because they looked like they would be different from any I had made so far. They are TRULY addictive...I am almost burned out on cookies but these made me crave more! I recommend them hightly. Easy and delish. You won't be dissapointed.Thanks Nancy...these have already become a tradition.

Love this recipe. It is a fairly plain looking cookie--my husband was making fun of them last night. Then he tasted them! That shut him up! I melted some semisweet chocolate chips, stuck them in a snack size ziplock bag, nipped the corner and put a little color on these. I am planning on making them again, and I may sqash them flat with the bottom of a glass before baking, and then dunk them in chocolate half way...I think that would be very pretty, too. Tip: when melting chocolate chips in the microwave--you must stir frequently. The chips don't "melt" until you stir them. It doesn't take long, less than a minute depending on how many you're melting and the power of your microwave, of course.

Wow! This is my new holiday cookie (ANY holiday!). :) Nice flavor combination and rich. I used UNsweetened fine shredded coconut and also added about 1/2 tsp each of coconut and orange extract. I didn't have the fresh orange rind so I used dry. These were plenty sweet. Baked for 10 minutes. Thanks for sharing this great recipe.

amazing cookies that always get rave reviews.

Very tasty little cookie. Recipe was easy, tho I wish I had read the reviews as my dough was very dry and pea-like. I was thinking my butter wasn't softened enough. Made exactly as shown and I'm delighted to have a new cookie for the holiday. It is a "festive" cookie with the dark red of the cranberries and the zest of the orange. Will be making many batches of these in the years to come!
