These taste a little like Christmas cake in a cookie. These are only for people that like the taste of candied fruit. The cookies are a little on the dry side, but would be perfect if paired with milk or coffee. 1 cup butter softened 1 cup powdered sugar 1 egg 1 tsp vanilla 2 1/4 cups all purpose flour 2 cups candied fruits and peels (You can used just candied red and green cherries if you like) 1 cup nuts (optional) I used sliced almonds because that's what I had on hand. the original recipe calls for pecan halves. Cream butter, sugar, egg and vanilla together. Blend in flour. Stir in fruit and nuts. Chill dough for 30 minutes to an hour. Divide dough into three portions. Roll each portion into a log shape. The diameter of the log will be the size of your cookie. Wrap rolled logs in waxed paper or plastic wrap and chill until very firm. Slice logs into 1/4 inch slices and place on ungreased baking sheet. I use parchment paper on mine. Bake at 325F for 10-12 minutes until edges are just turning brown.
