We are partial to almonds and pecans here, but pistachios, pine nuts, walnuts, and hazelnuts are all also delcious choices!
Here we love prunes, dates, cranberries, dried apple, apricots. Any type of dried fruit you like will work for these cookies. You could even use all one type of dried fruit if that is your perogative.
We seem to always have sunflower seeds on hand so I went for those in this batch of cookies – however you could use flax seeds if you like or replace the 1/4 cup seeds with more nuts instead.
To freeze, let the baked cookies cool completely. Place them in an airtight container or plastic bag and freeze them for up to 3 months. Thaw before serving, or microwave for a few seconds for a nice warm cookie!
