Retro Fruitcake Cookies

Retro Fruitcake Cookies taste just like the ones your grandmother (or great-grandmother) used to make. Candied fruit and warm spices make this Christmas cookie recipe fit for your cookie platter or dessert table. Unlike other recipes for cookies, these are great to make for when you're expecting a crowd. The original recipe made 120 cookies but this one cut that in half to make it more manageable. However, if you're having a party, you can always just double the ingredients.
