Fruit And Nut Refrigerator Cookie Recipe

Ingredients

How to make it

  • Whisk flour, baking soda, and salt together and set aside.
  • Combine butter and sugar in bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Beat on medium speed until light and fluffy.
  • Add vanilla and egg and beat until smooth.
  • Add flour mixture and beat until combined.
  • Remove bowl from mixer and using a wooden spoon, stir in dates, apricots, and pecans.
  • Knead dough briefly until smooth, about 30 seconds.
  • Divide dough in half. Form each half into a rectangular log, 2-by-1 1/2-by-7 1/2 inches.
  • Wrap each log in parchment then in plastic wrap. Refrigerate or freeze until firm, about 4 hours in refrigerator or 2 hours in freezer.
  • Dough can be made ahead up to this point and frozen for up to 3 months.
  • Heat oven to 375°.
  • Line baking sheets with Silpats (French nonstick baking mats) or parchment paper.
  • Unwrap one log. Using a very sharp knife, slice dough into cut into 1/4- to 1/8-inch slices.
  • Place on prepared sheets, 20 per sheet, about 1 inch apart.
  • Bake until firm and barely browning around the edges, 10 to 12 minutes.
  • Remove from oven and cool on sheets for about 3 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
  • When cool, drizzle with royal icing and let sit 1 hour to set icing. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

    Thanks and me too. You'll probably appreciate the story about when I tried to control my love of Snickers candy bars by freezing them, only to discover they are wonderful frozen.

    You know - I'd probably just be carving hunks off the frozen roll and eating it raw :-) They were really good and I imagine you could put some candied peel or candied ginger in them at Christmas.

    OMG if I had these in the freezer I'd be making them every night! Seems like the sun goes down and my sweet tooth wakes up! I keep no sweets in the house unless there is company coming.. But these sound soooo good!
