Cran-Orange and Date-Nut Cookies

Heat oven to 375F. In small bowl, stir together cranberries, chopped candy, dates and orange juice; set aside.

In large bowl, stir together cookie mix, flour, cinnamon and ginger. Stir in butter, orange peel and egg until dough forms. Stir in cranberry mixture, pistachio nuts and coconut until thoroughly mixed. On ungreased cookie sheets, drop dough by teaspoonfuls 2 inches apart.
