I think I'm the only one in my house that likes fruitcake, these cooking look a million times better than any fruitcake, these look perfect.

There is a similar fruitcake cookie recipe in the Betty Crocker Cooky book that my family loves. My family is more interested in plum pudding than fruitcake this year, so I ended up making a 5 lb plum pudding (it was my first time making the recipe. Found out that “Serves 12” in Victorian times equates to “Serves 18-24” in modern times).

My mom has one of the larger pillsbury bakeoff cookbooks that she bought in the 90s. I found a lot of great recipes in it that I really loved. I was fortunate enough to find in a local thrift shop a larger, newer edition that had most of the recipes from her book as well as so many more. One of my best finds and I was finally able to return my mom's copy, lol.

I'm not crazy about fruit cake but my Dad would have loved this recipe. His mother used to make a rum cake which is just a fruit cake soaked in rum. Yes rum! she would start in October and bake it in a tin. Then once a week she would douse it with a shot of rum until the first week of December , then mail it off to Dad. This is the only thing my Dad would refuse to share with the rest of the family, LOL!.

I couldn't find candied cherries at my store so I ended up learning how to make them myself. What an experience. First time was a flop. I watched some KZfaq videos for tips before making the 2nd batch and they turned out perfect. I wish I would have videoed all of it. How to and how not to make candied cherries. lol But I didn't. The candied fruit reminded me of my Thanksgiving fiasco. Your cookies look great!

Thank you! I've never even thought about making my own candied cherries! Now I'm super curios and need to find out how it's done.

Fruit Cake is such a nostalgic treat, it always takes me back to my childhood Christmases. I will try this recipe, I think it would make a nice addition to my cookie baking extravaganza this year!

Omg, this was SO CHRISTMASY FUN!!!! I loved seeing that cookbook and also my eyes instantly ZINGED to that Kismet game on the shelf. That was a regular to play when I was very little in the 70s and often at Christmas, the only time people had time to play a game with a little kid. So great! Hooray!!!🙂❄️🎄✨

It's a cautionary tale... don't shoot your whole table spread with a crazy blur effect and forget to get clean shots of your Beef Wellington! Lesson learned. Well some of these recipes sound like they're amazing, and you picked a great cookie idea! Personally, we're totally into the candied fruit peel thing, and fruit cake in general. Any excuse to use those bright green cherries, right? A great holiday treat Anna! Thank you!

Honestly I wasn't too sure about these at first, but after letting them sit overnight they were perfect! I need to find more uses for the Bright Green Cherries. They're just too fabulous not to.

I have noticed that in a lot of vintage recipes they call for margarine instead of butter. I wonder if the price was a factor back then?

Not to mention the “facts” about the health benefits of margarine versus butter are not as factual as reported originally
