Fruitcake Cookies image

I make these cookies in place of Fruitcakes. They go much faster. These cookies will keep indefinitely in the refrigerator, or store in a closed tin after baking. They are better after several days. Best if made a week or two before Christmas, and hope some are left for Christmas

These cookies are a great way to use up leftover fruit and nuts. I had some leftover cranberries and walnuts, so I added them to the batter. The cookies turned out great! They're soft and chewy, and the cranberries and walnuts add a nice tart and cru
