Fruitcake Cookies Recipe

Fruitcake Cookies

This Fruitcake Cookies recipe might not create the most beautiful cookies you will ever see, but they are definitely delicious.  We will have to refer to them as our Fun Food abstract art. 

The fruit candies add a lovely touch of color to these otherwise very plain looking cookies.  If we stare long enough, they take on a stain glass effect, at least color-wise.

Fruitcake Cookie Recipe

This is my mothers recipe for Fruitcake cookies.  I honestly do not remember a time in my life that she did not make them for my father for Christmas. 

One of my fondest mental images is of my dad standing at the kitchen counter with the open tin of homemade cookies in front of him.   As he munched on the fruitcake cookie in his hand, his eyes were fastened on the bounty before him.  I always wondered about his selection process.  What exactly was the prerequisite for his next choice in treats? 

I was always drawn to the colorful fruit, but he must have had a different focus because he always grabbed the absolute ugliest cookie from the tin.  I never really considered it at the time, but maybe he was leaving the prettier cookies for us.  Now, that thought makes those ugly cookies beautiful!

Fruitcake in Bite-size Morsels

These cookies are a powerhouse of taste.  They really are like having bite-size morsels of fruitcake with a bit of sweet cookie dough baked around them.

I actually like both a fruitcake and the fruitcake cookies, but the cookies are just so much easier to serve at a party or to eat as a snack.

Valentine Cookie Balls

Are you ready to give the gift of delicious homemade love!

It is hard to believe that it is almost Valentine's Day and I have not made my sweetheart a special treat yet.  

I went in search of something new to make for Valentines Day this year and look what I found!  I have to admit, I am pretty excited to get started.

Valentine Cookie Balls Recipe

These fast and easy cookies are the perfect gift and treat for Valentines Day.  I think it would be awesome to make a batch of these Valentine Cookie Balls and place them in a heart shaped box to give to our sweethearts.  

Homemade gifts are often so much better than a store bought cookies or candy, if for no other reason than that they are fresh.  Plus,  the recipient knows you cared enough to go to that little extra trouble to make something special just for them.

I know what I am making now for Valentines Day!  How about you?

Decorate this paper mache box exclusively for your sweetheart!  

It would be perfect for your Valentine Cookie Balls.
