Instructions
For cookies:
- Combine golden raisins, currants, dried cranberries, dried blueberries, dried sour cherries, dried chopped apricots, chopped candied ginger, lemon zest, and orange zest.
- Add rum and sit overnight.
- The next day, place dried fruit and rum in a large pot with granulated sugar, apple juice, butter, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and allspice.
- Bring mixture to a boil, stirring often, then reduce heat and simmer 5-10 minutes.
- Remove from heat and let cool for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F and line baking sheets with parchment paper, set aside.
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl add all-purpose flour, kosher salt, baking soda, and baking powder,
- Whisk to combine.
- Add flour to the cooled fruit mixture.
- Gently stir until just combined.
- Stir in eggs, one at a time, and stir until fully combined.
- Fold in pecans.
- Using a large 1-1/2 tablespoon cookie scoop, scoop onto the prepared baking sheets.
- Leave 2 inches between cookies.
- Bake for 15 minutes until baked through. They will look more cake-like than your typical cookie.
- Let cookies cool completely and either dip or drizzle with rum and clove icing.
For icing:
- Whisk together the powdered sugar, rum, and cloves.
- If the mixture is too thick add a little more rum, if it's too thin add more powdered sugar.
