Coconut Fruitcake Cookies image

Brimming with candied fruit, coconut and pecans, these sweet morsels resemble fruitcakes. My grandmother would bake and serve the cookies in decorated miniature paper or foil muffin liners, and I have carried on the tradition.

These cookies are a bit too crumbly for my taste, but they're still really good. I think I'll try adding a little more flour next time.

These cookies are a little too sweet for my taste, but they're still really good. I think I'll try making them with less sugar next time.

I'm not a big fan of coconut, but I loved these cookies. They're so moist and flavorful, and the coconut flavor is very subtle.

I made these cookies for a bake sale and they sold out in minutes! Everyone loved them, and I even got a few requests for the recipe.

These cookies are a great way to use up leftover fruitcake. I had a bunch of fruitcake that I didn't know what to do with, so I made these cookies and they were a hit!

I'm allergic to nuts, so I omitted the pecans from this recipe. The cookies were still delicious, but I think they would have been even better with the nuts.

I had some trouble finding candied pineapple, so I used dried pineapple instead. The cookies still turned out great, but they were a little less moist.
