I may have doomed these cookies for life by naming them after a much despised holiday treat. And I know a lot of you will dismiss them just because of their namesake. You might even think I'm nuts for picking such a horrible name for these delicious cookies, but I don't think so. If you like fruitcake, then these Not-So-Nutty Fruitcake Cookies will definitely remind you of it. But if you don't like fruitcake, I still think you'll like these cookies because, unlike the infamous fruitcake, they're
not basted with booze and they're
not cloyingly sweet with candied fruit. Laugh as you may, crack a few jokes or two, but after you take a bite, you just might think I'm not-so-nutty after all.
