1 cup apricot
1 cup dates
1 cup walnut pieces
1 cup sliced almonds
3 cups quick oatmeal
1/3 cup soy protein isolate
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1 teaspoon salt
1 egg
1/2 cup honey
1 cup vegetable oil
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup apricot juice
topping mix
2 cups walnuts
2 cups sugar
2 cups all-purpose flour

Preparation

Bring to a boil 1 cup Dried Apricots, 1 cup water, and simer 5 minutes in small pan.Cover and let set till cool
Bring to a boil 1 cup Raisins, 1 cut water, and simer 5 minutes in small pan, Covered, turn off and let set till cool.
I do this the day before. If the Dates are hard you can do the same with them. You want the fruit to be soft so that it will mix into the other ingredients.
For the topping I use a food procser and grind the Walnuts, Sugar, and Flour till I have a fine meal. and set aside.
Now Drain the Raisins, Apricots and save the water from the Apricots. Now put the ingredients for the cookie in the mixing bowl and mix together for 4 minutes on low speed, Now add the water from the apricots (Apricots Juice ) and mix for 3 mintues, and then let set for 30 minutes so the dry can absorbe the wet,.
Now start droping the cookies with a #40 ice cream server into the topping mix and roll them once, then place them on a cookie sheet.
I use a 12 X 18 cookies sheets and place then 3 x 5.
Bake at 350deg for 14 to 15 minutes . let cool 10 minutes befour removing from cookie sheet.
