Cookies Made with Homestead Harvest

Step 1

Start by heating your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a small bowl, mix together 1 cup of raw sugar and honey until well combined—this will be your honey-sugar mixture. In a larger bowl, cream the remaining raw sugar, the honey-sugar mix, and butter until smooth and fluffy. Then, add the eggs and vanilla extract, stirring everything together really well. Next, toss in the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and cloves, mixing just until everything is evenly moistened. Fold in the dried apples, persimmons, and walnuts so they’re spread throughout the dough. Drop spoonfuls of the dough onto ungreased baking sheets, spacing them out a bit. Bake in the oven for about 8 to 10 minutes, or until the edges turn a nice golden brown. Let them cool slightly before digging in!
