Method :
- Preheat the oven to 190°C/375°F/ gas mark 5 and grease and line three baking sheets with baking parchment.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat together the fat and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the egg yolks, vanilla essence and salt. Stir in the flour and baking powder and mix well. Divide the mixture evenly between three bowls.
- Mix the cherries, apricots and marshmallows into one of the bowls of biscuit mixture, the chocolate pieces into another and the peanuts and peanut butter into the third.
- Divide each of the mixtures into eight, mould into rounds and place well apart on the three baking sheets. The marshmallow cookies will spread the most so use two baking sheets for these if your baking sheets aren't particularly large.
- Bake in the oven for 10-12 minutes or until firm and lightly browned then leave to cool for 5 minutes then transfer to a wire rack.
Note: These cookies are best served slightly warm. However to save preparing them on the day, you could make them in advance to the stage before you put them in the oven. Freeze on lined trays overnight, then place in freezer bags for up to 3 months. When ready to use, remove from the bags, place them on lined baking trays and bake as normal plus 3-4 minutes.
