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!

Now this recipe does up A GREAT TASTING TREAT, & it was a joy to make! This time around I used dried apricots, mango & pineapple along with macadamia nuts, & should have doubled the recipe, 'cause they were gone in no time! Wish I could give you more than the 5 stars!
