This is a tasty cookie. I'm eating it as I type. The recipe can be written better, much better. Thank you to the other reviewers who said the recipe makes about 4 - 5 dozen. I halved the recipe and got about 3 dozen. I love cooking for the creativity piece, adjusting spices and cooking times to suit my taste. When it comes to baking, though, I equally love the exact science of it, being precise with measurements, following directions to a tee...this recipe was written with Ree's typical, adorable style of abandonment...which, for me, is not appropriate for baking. My first few batches of cookies have much less dried fruit and I found myself adding more for later batches. I forgot to add cinnamon, another great reviewer idea, because I was so focused on figuring out the rest of the half-measurements. I'm not interested in adjusting recipes when I bake. Thank goodness the frustration at least produced a good cookie...I think I'll have another bite.

Just made these for my family. I halved the recipe with no problems. I used all ingredients except for apricots, cherries and raisins since my kids don't like them. I used 1 1/4 cups chocolate chips instead. It made a wonderful crunchy and chewy cookie. I will make them this way again!

Overall, very good cookie. When she says 4 heaping cups of flour, you need heaping about 4 1/2 cups total. Our first pan ran together due to not enough flour. We added ground cinnamon and clove for additional flavor.
