Steps:
- Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Grease several baking sheets. Sift together the flour, cinnamon, and baking soda in a bowl; set aside.
- Beat together the butter and brown sugar in a large mixing bowl until fluffy, about 5 minutes. Beat in the eggs, one at a time. Gradually beat the flour mixture into the butter mixture, alternating each addition with about 2 tablespoons of milk until all the milk is incorporated and the dough is soft. Beat in the sherry, and mix in the nuts, raisins, dates, pineapple, and cherries until thoroughly mixed. Drop the dough by rounded teaspoons onto the prepared baking sheets.
- Bake in the preheated oven until the cookies are set and the bottoms are very lightly browned, 20 to 30 minutes. Cool on wire racks.

BEST EVER FRUITCAKE COOKIES
I received this recipe about 30 years ago from a very good friend who is an excellent Southern cook. It has become a staple Christmas cookie (especially for gift-giving) ever since. Very well received even by those who hate fruitcake!

Steps:
- 1. Mix dry ingredients tother, then add the fruit, nuts, and butter.
- 2. Mix eggs with fork to break yolks and mix with whites, then add them to the brandy (or O.J.)
- 3. Add the liquid mix to the dry mix.
- 4. Batter will be VERY stiff. Drop by teaspoons full onto cookie sheets. (I use parchment covering on the cookie sheets.)
- 5. Bake at F300 degrees for 20 minutes or until golden brown. Yield should be about 10 dozen cookies. There is just enough batter to hold the fruit and nuts together.
FRUIT CAKE COOKIES
Somewhere along the line, fruit cake got a bad reputation-unfounded or not. And whatever you may think of this stalwart, we won't argue with you. We'll only invite you to consider this recipe. It takes what fruit cake does best and repackages it in the form of a soft and chewy cookie. What does fruit cake do best, you might ask? Let us tell you. Fruit cake combines sweet dried fruits (golden raisins and chopped dates), warm spices (nutmeg, cinnamon, cloves), citrus (orange zest), crunchy toasted almonds and brandy. In other words, all the flavors of the season are wrapped up in fruit cake. It's a daring move and that's exactly why it works. The bold flavors and colors-did we mention the sugar-sweet maraschino cherries and candied green cherries?-are as exuberant as Christmas itself. Forget what you thought you knew about fruit cake and let these fun, nostalgic cookies be your new-and much more delicious-definition.
