HOLIDAY FRUITCAKE DROP COOKIE RECIPE
An old fashioned recipe for a soft and chewy cookie that is spiced with cinnamon and clove, and filled with candied cherries, dates, and pecans. (AKA. Fruit Drop Cookies)

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400°. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or a reusable silpat.
- Cream together the butter and sugar, about 2 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time and mix for another minute.Pro Tip: crack your eggs into a separate bowl and then pour in, this will help avoid any shell pieces in your cookies!
- Pour in the buttermilk and vanilla and mix another minute.
- In a separate bowl sift together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, clove and nutmeg.
- Add the flour a little at a time to the cookie dough mixture, just until combined.
- Stir/Mix in the candied cherries, dates and chopped pecans. Pro Tip: if you want a more pronounced red and green look, save back 1/2 cup of each color cherries. Then dot the outside of the portioned cookies with the extra pieces.
- Drop the dough onto the parchment lined baking sheet, about a heaping tablespoon each.
- If using the pecan half, place on top of each cookie, pressing down to adhere and spread the cookie a little.
- Bake for 9-11 minutes. They will be done when the very outside edge is just starting to turn golden. They are a very soft cookie so they will seem under done in the center, but will firm up as they cool. Watch the first batch and see how long it takes, then use that time for the remaining batches. If you are baking in batches, place the remaining dough in the refrigerator until needed.
- Let the cookies cool for 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool the rest of the way.

Steps:
- The day before: chop dates into small pieces and put in a glass bowl. Add rum. Cover with plastic wrap. Let sit for 8 hours, or overnight, to absorb the rum. You can leave this step out if you want but I find it makes the dates more delicious and the cookies have more flavor.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Dice candied cherries and pineapple into small pieces and place in a very large bowl; I use the top of my cake carrier. Add pecans, followed by dates. Add 1 cup flour. Toss well to coat all of the pieces and break them up so they are not sticking together.
- Whisk baking soda into the milk and let it dissolve.
- Mix shortening into the fruit. Add remaining flour, sugar, eggs, orange juice, nutmeg, salt, and milk-baking soda mixture. Mix together with your hands just until you no longer see the flour. Try not to overmix. The batter will be very dense.
- Use a small ice cream scoop or two teaspoons to drop the cookies onto the prepared pans, about 1 inch apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes. Cool on wire cooling racks.
