Nell's Fruitcake Cookies image

Altho this recipe requires a lot of "cutting/chopping"... it's worth every second. I made this for a cookie exchange one time and afterwards, when the hostess' husband arrived home... he took one look at my cookies and said "My grandmother made those fruitcake cookies!" ... to which I responded... "So did mine." He loved them and requested the recipe, which I gladly shared.

These cookies are a bit too sweet for my taste, but they're still pretty good. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.
