I made these exactly according to the recipes. I didn't have any juice left over after the fruit and nuts macerated overnight.
I also thought that it has just a bit too much cloves. I will experiment with the amount of cloves next time. Over all I would say they are fabulous!!! Will make them again for my next kids play date. Great job Ina!

I doubled this recipe and made as printed. I made the rolls 2" in diameter and got 7 1/2 doz. I would not have wanted the cookies any smaller.
Also, for those posters who wanted ingredients in cups, etc., it is so helpful to have a digital scale (they are available almost everywhere these days because esp. with pro recipes the ingredients are listed by weight, not volume.

I knew when I printed off this recipe, that I could count on Ina Garten for a good cookie. WOW! This is a new Christmas cookie tray favorite. Due to lack of availability of candied cherries and apricots in my stores, I used dates instead. Very good substitute. Thanks Ina!

I first saw Ina made these on her show. They looked so delicious that I decided to give them a try, even though I am not a dried fruit-in-dessert type of person. I wasn't disappointed! They were buttery, nutty and the mix of dried fruits added to the complexity of flavour. I couldn't find candied cherries so I used candied pineapples by the suggestion of another reviewer. I will be making these all year round!

There is no video. There are videos for some recipes, but not most.

Has anyone converted the fruit ingredients from pounds and ounces to cups, etc.? I haven't made these cookies but they appear to be a 5-star.
Thanks!

I knew when I saw Ina making these on TV that they would be a hit. The ingredients sounded so yummy. I made these for my son's birthday party, and what a hit. I didn't make any changes to the recipe. The combination of the fruits were exactly correct. I made this recipe 3 days before the party, and kept refrigerated. A great make-ahead cookie. Thanks Ina!

These are truly tasty, and festive AND easy, plus they last a LONG TIME! I know they don't need to be made just at Christmas, but they are so perfect then, and they are a great foil for the sugar cookies and the other fancy cookies you usually make, plus I like the way they look. They are not too sweet. I made them with dried cherries instead of the candied ones, and they were really good. Give them a try.
