Great recipe! These are probably the simplest, quickest cookies I've ever made, and really tasty. I used dried cherries, and substituted chocolate chips for the nuts. I had to use my fingers a bit to form the cookies since there was more dried fruit/chocolate than coconut/egg mixture to hold it together. If I would suggest anything, it is maybe to add more coconut/eggs, but they turned out fine as is. I used parchment paper on the sheets, and the cookies came right off. Thanks for a great recipe!

    FANTASTIC These were a hit at my get-together. Everyone brought dessert items and I brought these... they scolded me for not bringing more. Thanks for the wonderful recipe!

    A mini-bakeathon and I needed an easy cookie that did not require chilling or a mixer. Had all the ingredients on hand and decided this recipe would complement the other treats on the tray. My particular batch included chopped dried ginger, cranberries and apricots along with macadamia nuts which gave the cookie a nice tropical flourish. Because mine were a wee be larger (about 1 1/2 tablespoons) they took about 18 minutes to cook, but well worth the wait. The cookies had a beautiful golden exterior with a characteristic soft and sweet inside. The addition of the fruits and nuts were just wonderful and made for a terrific variation on a classic. Thanks.
