This was a great recipe because it allowed me to use up some white chocolate and dried fruit. The coconut extract gives the cookies an interesting kick and I felt like I was eating a "healthy" cookie. My husband and I loved them. I'll be making them again soon. This would be a great cookie around the holidays.

Baked this cookie for our annual office cookie exchange... it was far and away the most requested recipe! I'm sharing with everyone.

Yummy cookies, was a little worried about using flavored shortening, but they are wonderful. Also a good way to use our macadamia nuts!

I don't know what I did wrong with these. The cookies were puffy and beautiful in the oven, but when I took them out they were flat and tough.

These are absolutely delicious! What a combination -- apricots, cranberries, macadamias and white chocolate. I added some flaked coconut, too. I think they would also be good with milk chocolate chips instead of the white chocolate as another variety.
