Yield Makes about 56 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, softened
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup sour cream
1 large egg
2 cups sweetened flaked coconut, toasted until golden and cooled
1 cup packed dried apricots (about 7 ounces), quartered
1 cup dried cranberries (about 5 ounces)

Steps:

  • In a bowl whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl with an electric mixer beat together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add flour mixture, sour cream, and egg and beat until a dough forms. Stir in coconut, apricots, and cranberries.
  • Halve dough and on a sheet of wax paper form each half into a 10-inch log, using paper as a guide. Chill logs, wrapped in wax paper, 4 hours, or until firm.
  • (After the dough has been formed into a log it can be kept in the refrigerator for one week or the freezer for one month. Thaw the frozen dough in the refrigerator until sliceable, about four hours.)
  • Preheat oven to 350° F. and lightly butter 3 baking sheets.
  • Cut logs into 1/3-inch-thick rounds with a serrated knife and arrange about 2 inches apart on baking sheets. Bake cookies in batches in middle of oven until pale golden, about 12 minutes, and transfer to racks to cool. The baked cookies keep in airtight containers at room temperature for four days.

Tips:

  • Use ripe fruit for the best flavor and texture.
  • Chop the fruit into small pieces so that they distribute evenly throughout the cookies.
  • If you don't have any candied fruit, you can use a mixture of dried fruit and chopped nuts.
  • Be careful not to overmix the dough, as this will make the cookies tough.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set - they should be slightly soft in the center.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before storing them in an airtight container.

Conclusion:

Tutti frutti cookies are a delicious and festive treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a little planning, you can enjoy these cookies all year round.
