Heat oven to 375°F. Spray cookie sheets with nonstick cooking spray. In large bowl, combine sugar, brown sugar and butter; beat until light and fluffy. Add vanilla and eggs; blend well. Add flour and baking soda; mix well. Stir in oats, coconut, nuts and dried fruits.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

tip 1
Diced dried fruit is convenient for recipes. The packaged mixture we used in this recipe contained golden raisins, pineapple, papaya, apricots and mango.
tip 2
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.
tip 3
Try coarsely chopped walnuts in place of the macadamia nuts.
