Served as dessert. Vegetarian dish.

1 3/4 cups Flour

2 teaspoons Baking Powder

1/3 cup chopped dried Apricots

1/3 cup dried Cranberries

1/3 cup sliced Almonds

2 Eggs

3/4 cup granulated Sugar

1/4 cup Butter, melted

2 1/2 teaspoons Vanilla

1 grated Orange rind

Mix flour and baking powder together& set aside. In a separate bowl wisk together eggs, sugar, butter, vanilla and grated orange rind. Add almonds, cranberries and apricots. Add flour mixture to wet mixture. The dough will be sticky. Transfer onto a lightly floured work surface. Divide dough into two pieces. Flour your hands and roll one piece into a log almost the length of your cookie sheet. Place on the cookie sheet and flatten to about 1/2 inch an inch. Both logs should fit lengthwise on your cookie sheet. Bake at 350 for 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and let rest 5 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and cut diagonally into 3/4 inch slices. Stand cookies on their side and return to a 300 degree oven for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and flip each cookie onto the other side. Bake another 10 minutes. Let cool on a rack. You can use 1 cup of dried fruit mixture in any amount of each that you choose; it doesn't have to be 1/3 of each.
