BEST EVER FRUITCAKE COOKIES image

I received this recipe about 30 years ago from a very good friend who is an excellent Southern cook. It has become a staple Christmas cookie (especially for gift-giving) ever since. Very well received even by those who hate fruitcake!

Categories     Cookies

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 lb candied pineapple
2 lb red cherries, candied
1/2 lb dark raisins
1/2 lb golden raisins
3 c chopped walnuts
1/2 c butter
1 1/2 c brown sugar
4 eggs
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp allspice, ground
1 tsp nutmeg, ground
1 tsp cloves, ground
1/2 tsp salt
3 tsp baking soda
4 c flour
1 1/4 c brandy or orange juice

Steps:

  • 1. Mix dry ingredients tother, then add the fruit, nuts, and butter.
  • 2. Mix eggs with fork to break yolks and mix with whites, then add them to the brandy (or O.J.)
  • 3. Add the liquid mix to the dry mix.
  • 4. Batter will be VERY stiff. Drop by teaspoons full onto cookie sheets. (I use parchment covering on the cookie sheets.)
  • 5. Bake at F300 degrees for 20 minutes or until golden brown. Yield should be about 10 dozen cookies. There is just enough batter to hold the fruit and nuts together.
