Fruit Jumbles

The dough can be made 2 days ahead, shaped into a log, wrapped tightly in plastic wrap, and refrigerated. Slice and bake directly from the refrigerator, adding 1-2 minutes to baking time. Alternatively, portion the dough onto baking sheets, freeze until solid, then transfer to a freezer bag for up to 3 months. Bake from frozen, adding 2-3 minutes to the baking time.

Store baked cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week. Layer cookies between sheets of parchment paper to prevent sticking. The spices will develop and mellow over the first 2-3 days, improving flavor. For longer storage, freeze baked cookies for up to 3 months in a freezer-safe container.
