Until recently I'd never seen dried kiwi. I didn't know it existed, let alone that it could be pretty good. What would be better, though, is if I could make it into a cookie...
After a little brainstorming, I came to the conclusion that oatmeal cookies would be the best vehicle for these little dried disks. I chopped up the kiwi and rehydrated it a bit in some warm apple juice. This trick always makes raisins and other dried fruit more plump and flavorful. I used a family oatmeal cookie recipe as the base and simply replaced the raisins with the dried kiwi. Sadly, I will maintain the cookie recipe as one of my family secrets, but believe me they're very simple and very delicious. Using kiwi in this case made for a lot of surprised looks at work. Most people, like me, had never thought of using kiwi in a cookie like this. I'm tempted to get a whole slew of dried fruits and make cookies out of them all.

These cookies were phenomenal! You forgot to mention the orange! That was the best part. It might have even overwhelmed the kiwi .... (I didn't say that)
