Easy Holiday Fruit Cookies
from Recipe for Love, An Andrade Christmas Novella
by Ruth Cardello
All Maddy Andrade wants for Christmas is to hide from her family. But when running away lands her in the arms of a French chef, things start to heat up in more than the kitchen.
Richard D'Argenson doesn't celebrate the holidays. When his sister asks him to give her friend a place to stay for a weekend, Richard reluctantly agrees. One wild weekend is about to give this jaded Frenchman the ingredient his recipes have been lacking—love.
Makes about 48 cookies.
1 cup vegetable shortening
2 cups packed brown sugar
2 large eggs
1/2 cup buttermilk
3 1/2 cups all-purpose white flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
1 1/2 cups chopped walnuts (note: almonds, pecans or any other tree nut, including a mixed variety, will work well)
2 cups chopped candied cherries
2 cups dates, cut into small pieces
1. Mix shortening, sugar and eggs together. Add in buttermilk.
2. Sift flour, baking soda and salt.
