Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Fruitcake Cookies Delight.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 300°F (150°C) and greasing a few baking sheets to prepare for your delicious creations.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, fragrant cinnamon, and baking soda, then set this delightful mixture aside for later.
Step 3
In another spacious bowl, grab your electric mixer and beat the butter and brown sugar together until the mixture is light and fluffy—this should take about five minutes and will fill your kitchen with a wonderful aroma.
Step 4
Next, add the eggs one at a time, making sure to mix well after each addition to ensure everything is perfectly blended.
Step 5
Now, it’s time to bring the two mixtures together! Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, alternating with about two tablespoons of milk.
Step 6
Mix briefly after each addition until your batter is soft and inviting.
Step 7
Stir in the rich cream sherry, and then gently fold in the mixed nuts, candied pineapple, cherries, dates, and raisins, making sure every ingredient is well combined for a burst of flavor in every bite.
Step 8
Using a spoon, drop generous spoonfuls of dough onto your prepared baking sheets, leaving about two inches of space between each one to allow for spreading.
Step 9
Pop the sheets into your preheated oven and bake for 20 to 30 minutes, or until the cookies are set and the bottoms are lightly golden brown.
Step 10
Once they’re done, let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 11
Enjoy the delightful aroma wafting through your home as you anticipate the delicious treats you’ve just created!.
