Fast, Easy and Delicious

I have always loved Fruit cake cookies at Christmas. I never liked making them because they take so long. this year I decided to creat my own recipe.

this is something that is fast and easy…and they taste like they took much longer to make.

you will need the following:

1 package of Sugar cookie mix (for the butter go by the cut out cookie recipe on back)

add 1 egg

1 tsp All spice

1 tsp Cinnamon

1/2 tsp nutmeg

1/4 cup chopped candied pineapple

1/4 cup chopped candied cherries

1/2 cup to 1 cup chopped walnuts

1/4 cup chopped raisins

you can also add rum or rum extract

preheat oven to 375 degrees. Combine all ingredients until well incorporated. place in fridge for 30 minutes to 1 hour to rest and to chill. then drop cookies onto cookie sheet. I alwasy use the baking mats for the cookie sheets. they are great and your cookies will be perfect every time. bake cookies for 10 minutes or until lightly brown. take from oven and remove from cookie sheet. place on cooling rack and allow to cool completely. if you feel like the need more spice you can add more. they are great if you lightly brush with a spiced rum as soon as they come out of the oven. but if you do this, Please do not allow kids to eat them. they are great served with Egnog.

Please have a safe and Happy Christmas!
