I have asked my mother to bring down the recipe for Fruit Cake Cookies.  They are incredible.  No green things.  Mostly nuts.  Little cookies of Christmas Joy.  I don't normally like fruit cake but these are totally different.  The boys eat them like there is no tomorrow (then we tell them the name of them).  There seems to be a stigma about fruit cake. 

I may even talk/finesse her into making them herself before she leaves after Thanksgiving! 

I will post the recipe on here as soon as I can.  Make sure you have lot's of milk!
