Yield Makes 60

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 cups all-purpose flour, (spooned and leveled)
2 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 pound dates, pitted and roughly chopped
2 cups pecans, roughly chopped
1/2 cup dark raisins
1/2 cup golden raisins
3 large eggs
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar
2/3 cup vegetable oil
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees, with racks in upper third and middle. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour and baking powder. Add dates, pecans, and raisins, and stir with a wooden spoon until fruit and nuts are coated. In a small bowl, whisk together eggs, 1/2 cup sugar, oil, lemon juice, vanilla, and salt. Add to flour mixture and stir until combined.
  • In another small bowl, stir together 2 tablespoons sugar and cinnamon. Drop dough by rounded tablespoons, 1 inch apart, onto parchment-lined baking sheets. Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar. Bake until cookies are golden at edges, about 15 minutes, rotating sheets halfway through. Transfer cookies to wire racks and let cool completely.

I found these cookies to be a bit dry. I think they would be better if they were made with a little more butter.
