Four Fruit Whole Wheat Cookies

Original Day Family Cookbook

Ingredients:

• • ½ cup molasses

  • ½ cup oil

  • 2 eggs, well beaten

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla

  • 1/8 teaspoon salt

  • 2 cups whole wheat flour

  • ½ cup raisins

  • ¼ cup chopped dates

  • ¼ cup chopped figs

  • ½ cup chopped nuts

Directions:

Preheat oven to 375^o. Blend molasses with oil. Beat in eggs and vanilla. Stir in remaining ingredients and mix well. Batter should be stiff yet soft enough to drop by teaspoonfuls on oiled baking sheet. If batter is too thick, add a small quantity of unsweetened fruit juice. If too thin, add a little more flour. Place on baking sheets. Flatten the teaspoons of dough with the bottom of a drinking glass dipped in water. Bake 12-15 mins. or until done.
