Notes: This cookie recipe is from Nanny Spear, and even if you don't like fruitcake, you'll like these. It's good to make them small - just one or two bite cookies. You can make them a month ahead of time - they get better with age!
WARNING: DO NOT try to take a short cut and buy the fruitcake mixed fruit. There's something in there that is bitter and will ruin your cookies! Trust me on this - it happened....
