Years ago when I drove from Los Angeles to Spokane for a one year teaching job, I made fruit cake, using a recipe that also used canned pears, as one of my trip foods. I'm actually looking at a fruitcake cookie recipe for when we take a trip next month.

I love fruitcake! And we used to get the Collins Fruitcake too! But now that I've found KAF Orange-Cranberry-Nut fruitcake recipe, I've been using that without the nuts as my niece is allergic to nuts. The only issue is that I don't put any glaze on it and it becomes so dry. This year I even added a tablespoon of oil to the batter to see if it would help retain it's moistness. I don't want to use any of the glaze because I think it would become way too sweet that way.

Bakeraunt, I've seen fruitcake cookie recipes before, just haven't tried any yet. Let us know what you find!

Here is S. Wirth's recipe:

Here is another from msbelle:

And finally, Cwalde's recipe:

I plan to try one in Rick Roger's Christmas 101. I have tried the KAF one a few years back, but it underwhelmed me and the family.
