Molly's Fruitcake Cookies
Cream together:
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup butter
Add to the mix:
4 egg yolks
Mix and add:
2 cups flour
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. nutmeg
Alternate flour mixture with this liquid:
1/3 cup orange juice
red wine to 3/4 cup total with the orange juice
(Nota Bene from Omie ~ I never have red wine in the house, (it gives me heartburn), so I am believing you can just subsitute O.J.)
Then add:
3 tsp soda dissolved in
3 Tablespoons of milk
FRUIT: Dredge in 1 cup of flour in a bag ~
1 lb. candied cherries cut in half
1 lb. pineapple
1/2 lb. white raisins
1 lb. dates
Add:
6 cups of your choice of nuts, I use pecans.
Fold In:
4 egg whites, slightly beaten
Drop by teaspoon onto greased pan and bake in preheated oven at 325 for 20 to 25 minutes. It is hard to see if they are done.
Makes 175 cookies. These freeze well.

<3 GrandMom Love ~ Thanks to cousin Mike's wonderful wife for this new family Holiday recipe. I wish I had had this recipe years ago when there was an annual rivalry between my mother's WONDERFUL moist fruitcake and my MIL's dark, dense and dry fruitcake. Ugh! Maybe this recipe will save your marriage a few holiday headaches. heh heh.
