1 cup coconut 

3/4 cup dried cranberries 

1 can (6 oz) honey-roasted almonds (1 1/4 cups), coarsely chopped

2. Using small cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop dough 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets. Press with fingers to slightly flatten.

My comments: These were OK. Not fantabulistic or anything. I probably wont make them again. They seemed quite bland, and had no character. Although I didn't bake these EXACTLY as stated, I don't think they would have turned out better if I had.
