Coconut Cranberry Chews

• 1 1/2 cups butter or marg
• 2 cups sugar
• 1 tbsp grated orange peel
• 2 tsp vanilla
• 3 1/4 cups four
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1 1/2 cups dried cranberries
• 1 1/2 cups sweetened flaked dried coconut

2.  In a med bowl, mix flour, baking powder, and salt.  Add to butter mixture, stir to mix,
then beat on low xpeed until dough comes together, about 5 mins.  Mix in cranberries and coconut.

3. Shape dough into 1 inch balls and place about 2 inches apart on buttered baking sheets.

4.  Bake in a 350F regular or convection oven until cookie edges just begin to brown, 8 to 11 mins.
(Shorter time makes chewier cookie).  If baking two sheets at once in one oven, switch their positions
halfway through baking.  Let cookies cool on sheets for 5 mins, then use a wide spatula to transfer
to racks to cool completely.
