Make any cookie a “superfruit” cookie by adding dried cherries, blueberries and cranberries

Ingredients:
1 1/3 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
2/3 cup whole wheat flour
1/3 cup packed light brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup trans-fat-free 67% vegetable oil butter spread, chilled
1/4 cup dried tart cherries, finely chopped
1/4 cup dried cranberries, finely chopped
1/4 cup dried wild blueberries

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

Stir together all-purpose and whole wheat flours, brown sugar, baking powder and salt in large bowl. Cut in butter spread until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add cherries, cranberries and blueberries.

Form dough into ball and knead 5 times or until smooth and holds together without crumbling. Form dough into 1-inch balls. Place 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets. Flatten to about 1/4 inch thickness.

Bake cookies in preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes or until edges are firm. Transfer cookies to a wire rack and cool completely.

Makes about 3 dozen cookies.
