This is very similar to a dried fruit cookie I make. I soak my dried fruit...like strawberries, cherries, raisins, etc...in hot water while I am gathering all the other ingrediants. It makes the fruit softer so it doesn't get too chewie and stick in your teeth. (You drain the fruit before adding it at the end.) :) The last batch I made, I added 3 tblsp. of peanut butter and it was delicious.
