Some of you may be at this very moment wrinkling your nose at the thought of fruitcake. If ever there were a time to embrace fruitcake, it would surely have to be in a chewy, cookie form. Many thanks to Rock Recipes for this retro inspired treat.
One little tip for making cookies is that if you are using a mix in ingredient like chocolate chips, or in this case, candied fruit, is to reserve a bit and sprinkle it on the top of the unbaked cookie just before baking. That way you get a very pretty little cookie and the toppings aren't completely hidden.
For those that would like less of a strong flavor, I would say you could cut the amount of dried fruit down by half and still get a good flavor. As written it is a bit of a potent flavor, so if you love fruitcake I would say add the full amount of dried fruit, and if you are unsure, perhaps try half or three quarters of the original amount. Enjoy!
