Yummy!!!!! Great recipe and you can use any fruit combo you enjoy!!! I have done exactly as the recipe states and several other fruit/nut combinations. I have even melted white chocolate and drizzled them before serving. They have all been delicious. Thank you for a great recipe!!!

Excellent cookie! A butter cookie with attitude! I substituted the sherry with a teaspoon of vanilla extract. After sitting overnight, the fruit/nut mixture was moist but there was no extra liquid. I was worried that the cookies would be too dry but they were not. This cookie gives new meaning to fruitcake!

Everyone thought these cookies were delicious! They are worth the effort. I tried to blend them with a hand held mixer and that was a mistake. I will have to buy a mixer with a paddle.

I'm afraid I did make an alteration, unintentional, yet whether or not it made a difference, the cookies are wonderful. I macerated them in my spirit of choice - rum - and never got around to finishing them the following day, nor the next, nor the next. After five days of macerated fruits I took a gamble and plunged ahead with the rest of the recipe. Result - they are moist, chewy, just enough sweet, and ultimately perfect.

This recipe is excellent. It's a super hit with us and is going to be a permananent addition to my recipe collection. Just follow it EXACTLY and you can't go wrong. The cookies are delicious. I substituted the dried fruit with 2 cups of fruit cake fruit mix (candied fruit mix that is sold during the holiday season and cloves for cardamom spice. They look so complex and definitely add a beautiful touch to the cookie platter.

Ina is my fave, but these don't have the wow factor I want in a Christmas cookie. Wish I'd made her jam thumbprints instead.

I made these for a cookie exchange and people are asking for the recipe. I used dried cherries in place of marachino and I also used Grand Marnier instead of Sherry and... I did not let it sit as long as suggested and they still turned out great.

This is a fantastic cookie for your Christmas assortment. I was apprehensive at first because of the stigma associated with fruitcake. I was pleasantly surprised that they turned out fantastic. Loaded with flavor.. just the right amount of sweet and savory. I know that many might turn their noses up at this, but I highly recommend it. I am proud to have this cookie as part of my cookie gift collection this holiday season.

I am a big fan of Ina's recipes and will be making several for the holidays. However, I have to concur with a previous reviewer that described these as dull and lacking sweetness. The flavor just isn't there. Technically, they were simple to prepare and have a lovely appearance. They would certainly look beautiful on a holiday cookie plate. I'm somewhat shocked by the positive reviews, but maybe fruitcake is an acquired taste.

These are a great alternative to regular fruitcake. I think the key is definitely not to over bake them. For those who are afraid of the sticky mess of chopping the fruit, just spray the knife with non-stick cooking spray first. It makes the job so much easier.
