Story

You can actually choose any dried fruit you like for this cookie recipe, or you can use a mixed variety of dried fruit. I do like to make this recipe using just dried apricots because those are my favorite, but the family likes the variety of dried fruit. Either way, they are very yummy and are simple enough to make for those times you find out the night before that you need to bring a treat to school!
