I agree, they are very good, though I made them without the white chocolate (don't like it), and I used a lot less cranberries. It's a good cookie dough, too, which is the real test of a cookie.

Whole wheat flour might make them a little more brown. Not exactly what you described, but these are really good... * Exported from MasterCook * Coconut-Cranberry Chews Recipe By :Katie Serving Size : 0 Preparation Time :0:00 Categories : Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method -------- ------------ -------------------------------- 1 1/2 c. butter -- at room temp. 2 c. sugar 1 T. grated orange peel 2 tsp. vanilla 1 large egg 3 1/4 c. all-purpose flour 1 tsp. baking powder 1/4 tsp. salt 1 1/2 c. dried cranberries 1 1/2 c. sweetened flaked dried coconut 1. In a large bowl, with a mixer on medium speed, beat 1 1/2 c. butter, sugar, orange peel, and vanilla until smooth. Beat in egg until well blended. 2. In a medium bowl, mix flour, baking powder and salt. Add to butter mixture, beating on low speed until dough comes together, about 5 minutes. Mix in cranberries and coconut. 3. Shape dough into 1-inch balls and place about 2 inches apart on buttered 12 by 15-inch baking sheets. 4. Bake in a 350' oven until cookie edges just begin to brown, 11 to 15 minutes (shorter baking time will yield a chewier cookie, longer baking time will yield a crisper cookie). If baking two sheets at once in one oven, switch their positions halfway through baking. Let cookies cool on sheets for 5 minutes, then use a wide spatula to transfer to racks to cool completely. Makes about 6 dozen cookies Source: "Alice B" - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Honu, I'm so glad you liked it! It looks lovely - thanks for the cut view! I've never made up a pie before so I'm psyched that you liked the flavors together. My nephews are used to my experimental cooking but I can tell you I do not bat 1000 - more like 700. When this cooled and I cut it and it actually looked like a pie I was so thankful. When I tasted it and liked it I was thrilled. When the boys finished it in one sitting I knew it was a winner. I know it's a lot of steps, but now that I know how to do it, I plan to keep making it. Merry Christmas!

Yes, these are made with cannabutter. All the ingredients are organic. My usual medible is mint chocolate with twice the sugar. This has a bit less sugar, less eggs, one less stick of butter, and it adds both cranberries and orange for some anti-oxidants. Is it twice as healthy as the mint chocolate? Nah, but it's gotta be a bit better, at least in my mind.
