Can you make fruit cookies?

[herbacidal]

Is it possible to make fruit cookies?

I suppose there are lemon wafers/cookies, but is there any reason other fruits can't be made into cookies as well?

herbacidal:

have you ever had sultana crackers? they're like Fig Newtons kind of, but a *lot* less sweet and mushy.

they rock. the outside is like a mildly-sweet soda cracker, but richer. and inside, they're chopped raisins?

unless you don't consider raisins "fruits".

fig newtons

orange flavored butter or shortbread cookies (rind)

orange rind in oatmeal or chocolate chip cookies

applesauce cookies

banana chocolate chip cookies

jam thumbprint cookies

linzer cookies with jam

coconut (is it a fruit?) macaroons

add dried cherries, cranberries, raisins, currents, apricots or blueberries to all sorts of biscotti and drop cookies.

usually need the concentrated flavor of jams and preserves or dried fruit- also less moisture.

Is there something you had in mind?

And every Christmas, I make fruitcake cookies which I personally think are absolutely delicious.

I had a ton of dried apricots, made an awesome pureed filling and made rugelach for the first time in my life. They rock. I've gained five pounds.

I honestly don't think I've had any of these listed, except for Fig Newtons, and linzer tarts, not cookies.

Tsk tsk. Such a sheltered life.

Ah well, back to tripe and other offal things.

And yet you tease us by not posting the recipe? Please do or email it to me! I am not ashamed to go public with my love of fruitcake.

It's almost hamentaschen time. They're sort of fruit cookies, depending on what you use for filling.

Some people tell me I'm a fruit cookie.
