Yeah, I feel the same way. No fruit (except cranberries once in a GREAT while) in cookies. I would like to try these san fruit and see how they taste.

Look good tho.

i bet they'd be awesome without the fruit, if you ever care to try them again. if you have leftovers of this batch, plz send them my way! :)

Sorry that these were not a hit with you! I was worried about the fruit too, but it was ok for me.

Sorry you didn't like these. I feel the same, but not because of the dried fruits... For me it's the oats, I have never really cared about them and didn't like them in these cookies either!

No one can say you didn't give it a good enough try. I think you have earned the right to just leave out the dried fruit!

I'm with you on the dried fruit in the cookie, but this one actually changed me a little bit - I actually enjoyed the version with the fruit better than the one without! Regardless, your cookies look gorgeous!

So much upheaval with the chocolate fruit and chocolate/molasses combos! Glad you at least tried them - the look delicious - I'd eat them! I usually don't make these "kitchen sink" type cookies - since people are so finicky about one ingredient or the other. Simple chocolate chip works best! Nicely done!

okay i'm totally giggling. as i read that firt paragraph about being inspired going out of our bounds, etc. I was thinking..."wow these cookies really moved her."

Then i got down to the next paragraph and just started laughing.

yours are really a beautiful color.

hope you'll join me with the burnt sugar ice cream next week. no dried fruits there!

2010-04-27T08:32:09.476-04:00

Well, at least you tried. Normally, fruit in cookies is a take it or leave it for me. But I did enjoy this cookie.

2010-04-27T07:34:51.633-04:00

Yours look just fine regardless of your lack of love for them. These are obviously, not for everyone.

2010-04-27T07:32:47.261-04:00

I get your "confliction" about fruit in sweets. I have the same thing about chocolate and fruit. Always up for giving it another try but like you, these easy little cookies did not change my mind. You did a nice job with them anyway.

2010-04-27T00:57:47.944-04:00

When I was your age I didn't like dried fruit either! Now I'm old, 54 and my tastes have changed. I still don't like raisins. I like the texture of dates in small pieces. The dried fruit mix I used had small pieces of several kinds of fruit.
Try this recipe when you are 50! I enjoy your blog. Keep baking!
