Why This Recipe Is A Must Try
Pro Kitchen Tips
- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking to prevent spreading.
- Add a handful of chopped nuts or dried fruit for extra flavor and crunch.
Step 1
Warm your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a small bowl, mix together 1 cup of raw sugar and some honey until well combined—this will be your honey-sugar blend. In a larger bowl, cream the rest of the raw sugar, your honey-sugar mix, and softened butter until it’s nice and fluffy. Then, add in the eggs and vanilla extract, mixing everything thoroughly.
Step 2
Stir in the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and cloves until the dough is evenly moist. Fold in the dried apples, persimmons, and walnuts so they’re spread throughout the batter. Scoop out rounded tablespoons of dough and drop them onto ungreased baking sheets, spacing them out a bit.
Step 3
Pop the trays into the oven and bake the cookies for about 8 to 10 minutes, or until you see the edges turn a lovely golden color. Let them cool just a bit before enjoying!
