1 cup dates, chopped
Directions:
1. Mix first 4 ingredients, then add dry ingredients.
2. Mix the fruits together and add a small amount of flour to the fruits.
3. Add fruits and nuts to the dry ingredients.
4. Chill for about 1 hr., or overnight.
5. Drop by spoonfuls on a lightly greased cookie sheet.
