Very much like my recipe, (from a cookbook that came out in 1978) only I do add 1/2 tsp. cinnamon, 1/4 tsp nutmeg, and 1/4 tsp allspice. I also use chopped walnuts instead. THis also has more sugar in it than mine.

My sister made these cookies. Her recipe is about fifty years old. Instead of sugar she used grape or apple jelly. Her recipe called for 1 1/2 cups of flour so she used 1/4 cup of jelly. She also added 1/2 tsp. of cloves, cinnamon and nutmeg.

I had a friend ask me if I ever made fruitcake cookies. So on a mission I found this recipe and made them along with others cookies I made for Christmas. Very easy recipe and I couldn't stop eating them as they came out of the oven. Even people who didn't care for fruitcake Loved them. So if you are looking for a very easy and delicious cookie, I recommend these ones to add to your list.

I made these for a cookie exchange and they are delicious! I did modify the recipe a little-I used dried cranberries instead of raisins and dried cherries instead of maraschino cherries (I didn't have any). I also just added 1 cup of pecans instead of 4. They were outstanding and disappeared quickly at the exchange and my house! Will definitely make again!
