I love the slight tartness of dried cranberries, they balance out the sweetness of these cookies perfectly.
I did think of renaming them ‘Blink of an eye’ cookies due to the speed they disappeared off the plate.

that sounds like a good one to me. Love coconut and cranberries. OK then, lets try to beat the blues and make some cookies tomorrow 🙂 Thank you
made them today. As I live coconut and cranberries, I was naughty and doubled the coconut and threw a few more cranberries in 🙂
