I'm allergic to nuts, so I substituted chopped dried apricots for the walnuts in this recipe. They turned out great!

These cookies are a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

These cookies are a great way to use up leftover dried fruit. I always have a few bags of dried fruit in my pantry, so it's nice to have a recipe that uses them up.

I've never been a big fan of fruitcake, but these cookies changed my mind. They're so moist and flavorful, and the cream cheese frosting is the perfect finishing touch.
