- . Pre-heat oven to 350F/180C/Gas4. Position rack on the 2nd level from the bottom of the oven. Prepare two large baking sheets to be lined with parchment paper.
- . In a large bowl, with an electric mixer, cream together the first 4 ingredients. Add the applesauce and the eggs. Continue beating until everything is well combined. Set aside.
- . In a separate, medium bowl, mix together the flour and flakes mix. Add this gradually into the wet mixture and combine.
- . Afterwards, with a strong spatula, fold in both the nuts and dried fruits. Combine well until there are no traces of flour.
- . Place small-medium mounds of cookie dough, enough to place 20 per baking tray.
- . BAKE one tray at the time for about 18-20 minutes. If you desire to have flatter cookie shapes...gently, press down with a fork and bake for about 13-15 minutes. Once out of the oven, transfer them to a wire rack as soon as possible. Let them cool at room temperature before eating or storing.
- . Afterwards, the cookies can either be stored in an airtight container for about a week or frozen in batches within the parchment papers which were used for baking. Slip into a freezer bag and use within three months. Once out of the freezer, leave them out at room temperature for 15 minutes or lightly warm them in the oven for a few minutes on very low heat.
