Soft, fruit-filled cookies are loved by both children and adults. Here’s an easy version that will please the whole family. The cookies store well in an airtight container at room temperature or in the freezer.

RECIPE INGREDIENTS

1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened

1/4 cup packed brown sugar

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon ground coriander

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 egg

1/2 cup honey

1 teaspoon vanilla

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1/3 cup apple or currant jelly

1 cup snipped mixed dried fruits (such as apricots, apples, peaches, prunes, or dates, or raisins)

1/2 cup finely chopped pecans or walnuts

Sifted powdered sugar

DIRECTIONS

In a mixing bowl beat butter or margarine with an electric mixer on medium to high speed for 30 seconds. Add brown sugar, baking soda, coriander, and salt; beat till combined. Beat in the egg, honey, and vanilla. Beat in as much of the flour as you can with a mixer. Stir in any remaining flour with a wooden spoon. Divide dough in half. Cover and chill for 3 hours, or till dough is easy to handle.

Meanwhile, in a small saucepan heat apple or currant jelly till melted. Remove from heat. Stir in the dried fruit and pecans or walnuts.

On a lightly floured surface roll each half of the dough to a 1/8-inch thickness. Using a 2 1/2-inch round cookie cutter, cut into rounds. Place cookies 1/2 inch apart on ungreased cookie sheets.

Spoon 1 teaspoon of the dried fruit mixture onto the center of each round. Fold half of the round over filling, creating a half-moon shape. Seal cut edges of each round with the tines of a fork.

Bake in a preheated 375 degrees F oven for 7 to 9 minutes, or till bottoms are lightly browned. Remove cookies and cool on a rack. Sprinkle with powdered sugar.
