Fruitcake Cookies
Instead of baking or giving a traditional holiday fruitcake, make fruitcake cookies instead. Fruitcake's first cousin in cookie form contains all the ingredients you love in fruitcake--candied cherries, chopped pecans, cinnamon, allspice and rum--just in smaller bite-sized portions. Santa will be very pleased if you leave a plate of these treats out for him when he stops by your house this Christmas Eve.
