Fruitcake Cookies

"So much better than the old-fashioned cake! These easy Fruitcake Cookies are a beautiful, festive addition to your holiday dessert tray. Spike them with alcohol or omit the booze, kids of all ages will devour these treats! Full of candied fruit, pecans, and walnuts, these Christmas cookies are bursting with flavor, color and delicious texture. They borrow the classic ingredients from a traditional fruitcake, but they're so much better! Trust me: my husband and boys love these treats, and you won't EVER find them touching a bourbon-soaked cake! I do not include any alcohol in order to keep them kid-friendly, but you can certainly add a tablespoon of bourbon, rum, whiskey or sherry to the dough if that's your preference. "
