Cranberry, Chocolate Chip and Coconut Cookies image

This recipe was in an email today from the www.recipe4living.com website. "These cookies are flat, chewy and full of chunks! The coconut is hardly detectable and just adds some nice texture." The yield size is estimated as I have not made these yet and it wasn't listed on the website.

COCONUT, CRANBERRY, WHITE CHOCOLATE OATMEAL COOKIES



Coconut, Cranberry, White Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies image

I saw someone else with somewhat of a similar recipe and I tweaked everything. It's much healthier than the recipe I looked at originally. Make sure to take out the cookies immediately when they are ready. If they stay in the oven, they will quickly become too hard.
