Dried Fruit & Walnut Cookie Boats

"Apricot raisin walnut cookie boats: a simple cookie with a complicated name. Apricots and raisins ground in a meat grinder, combined with sugar and chocolate, then topped off with a walnut. Today’s recipe, the apricot raisin walnut cookies, is something my mom picked up a few years ago. Since then it’s been in our regular holiday rotation. We call them little boats. These are traditional cookies in a sense that the apricot, the raisin, and the (omnipresent) walnut are the kind of ingredients you’ll often find in cookies here. Although the combination of the same may be a little bit more contemporary. "
