As holiday gifts, these rich fruit-and-nut filled cookies are pretty and practical—the taste actually improves with age!!!
Guests for dinner tonight =D
Ingredients:
1 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1-1/2 cups flour
1/3 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
100 gr. red candied cherries, halved
100 gr. candied mixed fruit
1-1/2 cups dates, finely cut
1/2 cup broken walnuts
1/2 cup broken pecans
1/2 cup whole hazelnuts
+200 gr. unsweeted chocolate
In a bowl, cream butter, sugar, egg and vanilla. Sift together flour, salt and soda; add to creamed mixture. Stir in fruits and nuts. Drop by teaspoonfuls onto greased baking sheets. Bake at 325° for 15 minutes. Store tightly covered; cookies are best after a few days =D
Melt the chocolate in a saucepan and plunge the cooled cookies inside, until the chocolate reachs the middle. Put in the fridge or keep them cool at room temperature.
Happy Christmas!!!
