Costco sells large bags of dried blueberries -- great!

As blueberries do not abound where I live, would it hurt if I use dried fruits like apricots, raisins or prunes? Can I use Marciano cherries, as another option?

I would think you could, but keep in mind the cookies may be a lot more moist than the original recipe.
