1 cup butter
1 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
1 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup butter, softened
3 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup small pretzel-shaped fruit, peeled and sliced
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
In a large bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, light brown sugar and salt until smooth. Beat in eggs, one at a time, then stir in vanilla. Combine the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt; stir into the creamed mixture. Finally, mix in fruit slices until well covered. Drop by spoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheets.
Bake for 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven, or until lightly browned. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before removing to a wire rack.
