This recipe has been in our family for years. We prefer to use just cherries for the fruit but I am sure you could use any candied fruit.

I'm not a big fan of fruitcake, but these cookies were actually really good. The cherries added a nice tartness that balanced out the sweetness of the cookie.

These cookies were a bit too sweet for my taste, but my kids loved them. They were also very easy to make, so I will probably make them again for them.

These cookies were a bit too dense for my taste. I think I would have preferred them if they were a little lighter and airier.
