Fruitcake Cookies
Recipe courtesy of Ina Garten
Total: 14 hr 50 min
Prep: 30 min
Inactive: 14 hr
Cook: 20 min
Yield: 5 dozen small cookies
Level: Intermediate
Ingredients
1/2 pound dried figs
1/4 pound raisins
2 ounces candied cherries, coarsely chopped
2 ounces dried apricots, coarsely chopped
1 tablespoon honey
2 tablespoons dry sherry
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
6 ounces chopped pecans
Kosher salt
1/2 pound (2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 cup superfine sugar
1/3 cup light brown sugar, firmly packed
1 extra-large egg
2 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
Directions
Snip off the hard stems of the figs with scissors or a small knife and coarsely chop the figs. In a medium bowl, combine the figs, raisins, cherries, apricots, honey, sherry, lemon juice, pecans, and a pinch of salt. Cover with plastic wrap and allow to sit overnight at room temperature.
In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter, cloves, superfine sugar, and brown sugar on medium speed until smooth, about 3 minutes. With the mixer on low speed, add the egg and mix until incorporated. With the mixer still on low, slowly add the flour and 1/4 teaspoon salt just until combined. Don't over mix! Add the fruits and nuts, including any liquid in the bowl.
Divide the dough in half and place each half on the long edge of a 12 by 18-inch piece of parchment or waxed paper. Roll each half into a log, 1 1/2 to 1 3/4-inch thick, making an 18-inch-long roll. Refrigerate the dough for several hours, or until firm.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
With a small, sharp knife, cut the logs into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Place the slices 1/2-inch apart on ungreased sheet pans and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until lightly golden.

In the bowl of a stand mixer with a dough hook, add the flour, salt, sugar and yeast. Mix to combine.

SLOVENIAN KIFLICE | JAM FILLED CRESCENT COOKIE RECIPE
Episode 24: These delicious Crescent Cookies are a must for your Christmas Cookie Platter. They are so versatile. They can be filled with practically any filling of your choice. In Slovenian we call them ‘kiflice’. Michelle takes us on a journey and shares her families 3 favourite fillings:
Nutella Chocolate Hazelnut Spread, plum jam & walnut filling. You will find yourself having to make more than just one batch. They will disappear right before your eyes!
• 3 egg yolks
• 1 cup white granulated sugar
• 250g (or 1 + 1/4 cups) softened butter
• Zest from 1 lemon
• 1-2 Tbsp lemon juice or rum
• 1 package of vanilla sugar or 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 cup of sour cream
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 500g (or 4 cups) of all purpose flour (more if required)
Filling: Plum jam, Chocolate hazelnut, Walnut filling, or any other preferred filling
+ Extra flour
+ Icing (confectioners) sugar for dusting
Walnut filling:
1/2 cup water
1 cup sugar
1 Tbsp of lemon zest
1 pound walnuts, finely ground
*To make the filling: In a small saucepan, bring water and sugar to a boil. Add zest and let simmer for about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and cool. Combine cooled syrup with ground nuts until thoroughly mixed.
???? Print Recipe Here:
1. Mix the egg yolks and sugar until you get a nice creamy consistency.
2. Add butter, lemon zest, lemon juice (or rum), vanilla sugar, sour cream & baking powder. Mix until well combined.
3. Add flour only 1 cup at a time, this recipe requires only about 4 cups of flour (500g). We don't want this dough to form completely into ball but rather you want it to be able to form a ball when you bring it together with your hands.
4. Wrap the dough in clear plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.
*This dough should not be placed in the fridge over night it will become too hard and it won't be easy to work with.
5. Separate the dough into 3 equal portions. Place 2 of them back into the fridge.
6. Dust the surface with a little bit of flour and roll out the dough into a round circle and it should be about 1/4 in thickness. Using a dinner plate and a pizza cutter to trace and cut around the dinner plate. *My dinner plate is about 11 large. Cut the dough into 8 triangular pieces (like a pizza)
7. Drop a teaspoon of your favourite filling onto each triangle. Start rolling it up by the wider end.
8. Place them seam side down onto a baking tray that has been lined by parchment paper.
9. Place in a 350 degree preheated oven for 15-20 minutes.
10. The cookies are done when they have a nice golden colour around the edges. They should remain slightly pale and not too dark.
11. Transfer them onto a wire rack to cool down. Dust them with some icing sugar before serving!
