YUMMIEST CHEWY COCONUT CRANBERRY BARS
The aroma of coconut, almond extract, sugar and egg baking in the oven is enough to make my salivary glands happy. The added tanginess of the dried cranberries and slight crunchiness of the almond nibs are a bonus on top of all that yummy goodness. This recipe is my own concoction. If you have a very sweet tooth, increase the sugar content by 2 tablespoons for the base.

Tips:
- For the best flavor, use fresh cranberries. If you only have frozen cranberries, thaw them before using.
- Be sure to drain the cranberries well before adding them to the other ingredients. This will help prevent the cookies from being too wet.
- If you don't have coconut flakes, you can use shredded coconut instead. Just be sure to toast the coconut before using it. This will bring out its flavor.
- The dough for these cookies is very sticky. Be sure to grease your hands or use a spoon to help you shape the cookies.
- Bake the cookies until they are just golden brown. Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly.

These coconut cranberry yummies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. They're also a great way to use up leftover cranberries. So next time you're looking for a sweet and satisfying snack, be sure to give these cookies a try!
