I just made these cookies. They are fabulous and so easy! I made the recipe as written with two minor changes -- used brandy instead of sherry and used dried tart cherries instead of the candied one.

This is my third year to make these for my Christmas Cookie Baskets. They never fail to impress. The only variation I make in the recipe is if I don't have sherry on hand I will use Marsala wine. They are better with the sherry but marsala is a good substitute. I like them cut just as called for, 1/2 inch but they are delicious either way. I will definitely keep these as part of my Christmas cookie tradition.

Only problem with these cookies is that I eat them all!! I made them last week and they are da bomb!

They slice up beautifully. Don't fixate on chopping the fruit and nuts up, because you slice into all the fruits when you slice them to bake them.

A mazing.

These were excellent however you must be careful not to over cook them. I tried both cutting them thin and thick and I prefer the thicker cut. It tasted more like a cake than a cookie.
I was taking them to a cookie exchange and thought they didn't look very pretty so I drizzled a zig zag pattern of a little icing of powered sugar mixed with a little orange juice and orange oil over them. It not only made them pretty but added another layer of flavor to them.
If you would like a homemade fruit cake at recipe - Alton Browns recipe called Free Range Fruit Cake is excellent.

Excellent, but only when baked all the way through! I agree with the last reviewer. Cut them thinner or as thin as possible. I raise the temp to 375 and extend the cooking time a bit. They must be golden and more dry than moist. Then the sherried nut and fruit flavors explode. You will wish you doubled the recipe. Even those who swear they hate fruit cookies love these. They disappear...

This recipe definatly has replaced our old fruit cake recipe. I introduced these at Thanksgiving and everybody seemed to love them. I do have a few minor complaints. I couldn't find the super fine sugar anywhere and I checked every major and small grocery store in our area and gave up after 4 tries. I made the recipie as is the first time but when I did the trial run of the recipe no body liked how thick they were. When I made them a second time (for Thanksgiving and when I made them as thin as possible everybody liked them. It also made for a faster baking time which came in handy!! Slicing them thinner made such a drastic difference!! Still over all a good recipe for a crowd or the Holiday's. Definatly better than serving that boring old fruit cake!!

These are some of the most delicious cookies I have ever tasted and I do not like fruitcake, but these are amazing.
