I know what you are thinking, Fruitcake?? But, these cookies are actually really good!
Ingredients:
1 c. granulated sugar
1/2 c. shortening
1 egg
1 3/4 c. sifted all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. soda
1/4 c. buttermilk
3/4 c. chopped pecans
1/2 c. candied cherries
1 c. chopped dates
1 c. mixed candied fruits
Directions:
Beat shortening and sugar until light and fluffy. Add egg, beat until well blended. Save a little of the flour (about 3 tbsp) to toss with the fruit. Mix the remaining flour with the salt and baking soda. Add the dry ingredients alternately with buttermilk. Toss fruits with the saved flour. Fold in the floured fruits and chopped pecans. Drop by spoonfuls onto greased baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between cookies. Bake at 400° for 8 to 13 minutes, depending on size of cookies. Let cool and enjoy!
