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.

FESTIVE FRUITCAKE COOKIES
I cut this cookie recipe out of a magazine years ago, but have never made them, until now. They're very good, and not too labour-intensive if you buy the fruit already chopped. I modified the recipe slightly by adding the ginger. Also, the original called for shortening. I used butter.

Steps:
- Combine fruit and nuts in a bowl. Sprinkle 2 or 3 teaspoons of flour over the fruit mixture and stir to lightly coat the fruit.
- Cream butter and sugar together. Add egg, vanilla, and almond extract and mix until light and creamy.
- Combine flour, baking soda and salt. Add to the creamed mixture and blend well.
- Stir in fruit mix. The dough will be very stiff - I found mixing with my handmixer dough hooks easier!
- Drop dough by heaping spoonfuls onto parchment covered baking sheets, flattening very slightly with the spoon.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 10 to 12 minutes, or until golden.

MOM'S CHRISTMAS FRUITCAKE COOKIES
A holiday tradition at our house for over 60 years, these cookies are full of candied fruit, pecans, and rum-soaked dates. It wouldn't be Christmas without them.

Steps:
- The day before: chop dates into small pieces and put in a glass bowl. Add rum. Cover with plastic wrap. Let sit for 8 hours, or overnight, to absorb the rum. You can leave this step out if you want but I find it makes the dates more delicious and the cookies have more flavor.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Dice candied cherries and pineapple into small pieces and place in a very large bowl; I use the top of my cake carrier. Add pecans, followed by dates. Add 1 cup flour. Toss well to coat all of the pieces and break them up so they are not sticking together.
- Whisk baking soda into the milk and let it dissolve.
- Mix shortening into the fruit. Add remaining flour, sugar, eggs, orange juice, nutmeg, salt, and milk-baking soda mixture. Mix together with your hands just until you no longer see the flour. Try not to overmix. The batter will be very dense.
- Use a small ice cream scoop or two teaspoons to drop the cookies onto the prepared pans, about 1 inch apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes. Cool on wire cooling racks.
