This recipe is adapted from Zusie-Q's Rock Cakes recipe (#110691). Use your favorite dried fruits. My grandmother's version called for raisins and chopped maraschino cherries. I like cranberries and chopped apricots. Note: if you're using cranberries, adding a shaving of orange zest compliments them nicely. Even chocolate chips work nicely here (paired with fruit). Ingredients:
2 cups flour |
4 tablespoons granulated sugar |
6 tablespoons softened butter (room temperature) |
2 teaspoons baking powder |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg |
1/2 cup favorite dried fruit (larger pieces should be choppped) |
2/3 cup milk (soy milk works nicely) |
1 egg |
Directions:
1. Heat oven to 400 degrees F and grease a baking sheet. (Cooking spray will do.).
2. Sift the dry ingredients into a bowl.
3. Add margarine, rub in until like fine bread crumbs.
4. Mix in fruit.
5. Beat egg. Add beaten egg and milk to form a stiff dough.
6. Spoon onto cookie sheet. approximately 1 tablespoon mixture each cookie. Should look rough.
7. Sprinkle with a little granulated sugar (optional).
8. Bake for 15 minutes until light brown.
9. Cool on wire rack.
