Gently mix the flour with a teaspoon of baking soda, a pinch of salt and vanillin into the liquid. Knead the dough. Try to stir in one direction with the spatula.

Drain the dried fruits and blot them with a paper towel, lightly chop the hazelnuts and walnuts, chop the dried apricots into small pieces or cubes. Add nuts and dried fruits to the dough.
And mix thoroughly so that there are no pieces of dried apricots sticking together, and all the nuts are evenly distributed over the dough.
Grease a baking sheet with vegetable oil and two teaspoons (peeling one against the other), spread out approximately equal pieces of dough at a short distance from each other. The baking soda will increase the volume of the cookies slightly.
Bake cookies on a medium level, in an oven preheated to 200 degrees, 20-25 minutes (until golden brown).

Children will be happy to help you with this. In addition, you can roll out the dough in a layer about 7 mm high, and press the desired format with a glass or any cookie mold. And then - on a baking sheet.
Bake the shaped biscuits in brine for 20-25 minutes at 200 degrees until they are tanned. Remember to oil the parchment if you are using it and if it is not oiled. The silicone mat does not need to be oiled.
When breaking, the cookies should be loose and completely baked, the main thing is to wait until they cool completely.
