Mixed Fruits Cookie

Mixed fruits cookie is always be my favorite. I have it for my breakfast, tea or even dessert with chocolate ice cream. Not so crunchy and dry because the oatmeal given it soft and chewy pleasure.
One thing good about this cookie is, it is so easy to prepare even for the first timer. Although one should pay a little bit attention to the consistency of the cream butter smoothness. The tip is; the colour of the cream must be in light yellow before add in the sugar and the rest of the ingredients.
Please feel free to give it a go and enjoy the pleasure of having it with your love one and friends. I've even baked it for the Aidilfitri to enjoy it with my guests.
