I took out my favorite Christmas Cookie gift recipe to post here and got distracted now 3 days later it is no where to be found.

I have googled to no avail.

Does anyone have Martha Stewart's Mixed Fruit and Nuts Cookie recipe? It has dried apricots, cherries, pistachios and ......................

If you can help you will be making may coworkers happy, since they expect these cookies every year.

Thanks.

      Yeah! It was in her Annual recipes for 2003. I only have that one and the 2002 one plus her big cookbooks.

        Dianne thanks so much! I love these cookies. I found the recipe in a book at Borders but wasn't up to spending the $40.00. Didn't have a pen with me. I was going to back to copy it.
