I'm still obsessed with any holiday dessert that has 'fruitcake' in its name. I started with a Martha Stewart recipe but as usual with all recipes I try; I tweeked it a little. This recipe was super easy and didn't involve any unusual ingredients. I put my own mix of dried fruit in because I had some diced Japanese dried fruit, green dried kiwi ( for color) and chopped in some dried apricots. I shaped the log of cookie dough into a large rectangle before hardening it in the refrigerator. Because I love the shape of Big Island cookies (great for dunking and chocolate coating), I tried to emulate their rectangles. Overall, these fruitcake shortbread cookies turned out pleasant looking and tasted great. The MS recipe yields only two dozen cookies so I will be making more batches for gift giving. Perhaps adding macadamia nuts would be tasty and add some crunch. In 2026, I vow to never be satisfied with what is but always look for what can be!
