BEST EVER FRUITCAKE COOKIES
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!

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.
