These are just beautiful. I cooked them over the weekend while my cousin was here. He's a big fan of food and he absolutely loved them, to the point that I sent him home with a tin. Although I did forget the coconut, they still taste yummy. It only took them about 10 minutes to cook in my oven. Next time I'm going to split the mix, put coconut in one lot and with the other half I'm going to dip half of each cookie in melted white chocolate. Thanks for a great tasting recipe. Even the kids love them!!!!

These are wonderful! A light, airy, not to sweet cookie. I chopped the apricots and cashews in the food processor and used the white chocolate chips. My oven took 20 minutes for the cookies to bake. Instead of greasing the pan, I lined the cookie sheet with parchment paper.
