Preheat the oven to 375 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
Whisk together the flour, coconut, salt, baking soda, cinnamon, and cardamom in a medium bowl. Set aside.
In a stand mixer or with an electric mixer, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the packed brown sugar and mixture until creamed together. Then mix in eggs and vanilla until fully incorporated. Add the dry ingredients and mix just until blended. Fold in the white chocolate chips, dried cranberries, and toasted pecans.
Portion scoops of batter onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart. Bake for 9 to 12 minutes, depending on the size of your scoop. Let cool on a rack before drizzling with the White Chocolate Glaze.
To Make the White Chocolate Glaze: Melt the white chocolate and half and half in a double boiler or in a microwave. Stir to combine and drizzle over cooled cookies. I like to sprinkle some additional toasted chopped pecans and toasted shredded coconut. (I toast both the coconut and the pecan pieces in a dry nonstick skillet on the stove.)
