Eggless Fruit and Nut Cookies | Easy Christmas Bakes

Yes, there is a similar recipe in this blog! The fruit cookies recipe that I posted a couple of years back was my go to recipe if I needed to bake and take for friends. Then when I made this Eggless Basic Cookie Dough , I wanted to make something colorful and then this cookie was born. I have added some nuts here and these jeweled beauties were the star of the day!

I have made 5 different cookies with the Eggless Basic Cookie Dough and all the varieties were appreciated and relished by the family. This one is from the final lot of the dough.


I used:

1/5 portion of the Eggless Basic Cookie Dough weighing approx. 150 grams
Tutti frutti - 1/8 cup
Nuts- a few I used almonds and cashews

Take the dried fruits and nuts and chop them finely. Add it to the dough.


Mix in the fruits and shape into a log. Cling wrap it and freeze for half an hour.


Remove the cling wrap and using a serrated knife and cut into slices. Arrange the slices on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.Bake in a pre heated oven at 180 degree C for 12 minutes / till the bottom of the cookies turn light brown. Remove from oven and let it cool on a wire rack. 


Bejeweled beauties are ready to be served....
