Cloyingly sweet. Greasy. Maybe my oven was too hot but there really was not much "chew" with these. Don't add the sugar. Definitely pull them out of the oven early.

These are a favorite of my daughter for school lunch. I make them weekly.
I reduced amount of brown sugar by half called for in the recipe. They turn our great and quite tasty. A favorite for us!

I can't believe Mrs. Grover doesn't have 5 stars.. I made this recipe last year for Christmas after watching her make these cookies on Food Network. Classic fruitcake lovers and fruitcake haters alike in my family RAVED over this recipe. I am so excited to make it for Christmas, and so is my family. I didn't change anything in the recipe. I did not find that the butter-flavored shortening made the cookies greasy at all, and I do not like to use shortening in my cooking. I took them out of the oven a little before they were completely "done", as she recommends, and the outside was slightly crispy while the inside remained moist, fluffy, and wonderful! The only thing I'd have to say is that while the batch it makes is not tiny, if you're cooking for a crowd, I'd make another serving.

This recipe was so easy with results that tasted like I'd spent more time. I would double the recipe if you're planning for a crowd or bake sale. I only got 18 cookies out of the single batch.

This is a wonderful recipe!!! I tripled the recipe in order to make the most use out of the cake mix. Also, I just used dried cherries and apricots for the fruit. They have a wonderful texture and are great for breakast on the run!!!

I believe the recipe has been corrected since all the reviews.
This recipe is ultra simple. THe almond extract adds a wonderful flavor to the cookies. I added prunes instead of apricot and used hazelnuts instead of almonds. They worked out great.
They might be a little too sweet because of all the fruits and the brown sugar. I might not add the sugar next time since the cake mix already contains sugar.

I love these cookies! They are really tasty and crunchy. They are easy to make. Best of all though, they are so simple! I am passing them out with my Christmas cookies this year. Yummy!
