Expert Tips

Diced dried fruit is convenient for recipes. The packaged mixture we used in this recipe contained golden raisins, pineapple, papaya, apricots and mango.

Coconut dries when it's exposed to air; seal an opened package of coconut in an airtight container or plastic bag and keep it refrigerated for up to six months.

Try coarsely chopped walnuts in place of the macadamia nuts.

This recipe flavor is awesome but the recipe doesn't seem to be correct on the ingredient measurements. I had to add 1 and a half sticks more butter just to get the dough to stick together! I used the recipe from your 2008 Christmas coobook which is the same as your web. I will enter these cookies in a cooking contest for Toys 4 Tots but I have to adjust the recipe.
