1 cup sifted whole wheat flour
1 cup GRAINFIELD's Multi-Grain Flakes with Rice Bran (crushed)
3/4 cup margarine or oil
3 egg whites, or 1/2 cup egg substitute
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 teaspoons low sodium baking powder
1 1/2 cups chopped dates
1 1/2 cups chopped (unsulfured) dried apricots
1 cup unsalted walnuts
1. Bring margarine to room temperature. In small bowl, beat margarine, egg whites, and vanilla together until smooth. Sift flour, baking powder, Multi-Grain Flakes and add to creamed margarine mixture. Mix until well blended. Add fruits and nuts and mix well.
2. Form dough into two 2 inch rolls. Wrap in waxed paper or foil. Chill in the freezer until firm enough to slice (or place in refrigerator overnight). Cut with a sharp wet knife into 3/8 inch thick slices. Place slices on lightly oiled baking sheet and bake in preheated 350 oven about 10 to 12 minutes, or until golden brown. Cool on wire rack.
Note: If desired, cookies may be formed into small balls without chilling dough. Flatten slightly before baking.
