 fruitcake cookies
I’m not a fan of fruitcake, but these Fruitcake Cookies are delicious and are a special favorite of my sister, Beth. The ladies of Shady Dale, Georgia—among them, Mrs. Fannie Newton (the grandmother of my high school friend Lynn Newton Deraney) and Mrs. Sara Martin—were known as great cooks. They made and sold baked goods to places as far away as King Plow Company in Atlanta, Georgia. For this reason, some of their recipes were closely guarded secrets. However, they were very generous in sharing the baked goods locally. (We’re told that Miss Sara didn’t cook but was the delivery person!) They would send goodies to the Bank of Monticello, where Daddy worked and, somehow, he managed to get a copy of this recipe. I’m sure it was his southern gentleman’s charm.

Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 300°F. Grease a cookie sheet.
  2. Sift together the flour, baking soda, and cinnamon. Cream the butter and sugar, then gradually add the eggs. Add the dry ingredients alternately with the milk, blending well. Mix the fruits and pecans in a large bowl, then pour the batter over them. Fold the fruit into the batter by hand, mixing well. Drop the batter by teaspoonfuls onto the cookie sheet. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until done.
