Soft Bake Cookies Recipe by Blazing Salads

Method:

1. Preheat the oven Gas 4/180C/350F.
2. In a large roomy bowl place the flour, baking powder, a pinch of salt, raisins, apricots, cashew nuts and flaked almonds.
3. In a separate bowl and with a wooden spoon beat the margarine with the maple syrup and the apple concentrate for approximately 3 minutes.
4. Whisk the eggs and add them gradually to the margarine mix whisking all the time. Add the vanilla extract.
5. Stir in the dry ingredients and mix well.
6. Lightly oil a baking tray. Take dessertspoons of the cookie mixture and place on the prepared tray, leaving a 1½ inch space between each mound. Dampen the back of the spoon and press down lightly, on the mounds to create a cookie shape.
7. Place in a preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until golden brown. Place on a cooling tray to cool.

Tip: I’ve found children like these cookies when I make them smaller. Place a heaped teaspoon of mixture onto the baking tray and follow the method above.
