Yes, I know It's Hallow Eve, but Christmas is just two months away. I'm thinking we could do Christmas Cookies or any kind of cookies Exchange. Just post your favorite cookies recipes here to share.
Here is one of my favorite cookies recipes ...
Rum Fruitcake Cookies
1 c sugar
3/4 c shortening
3 large eggs
1/3 c orange juice
1 Tbsp rum extract
3 c flour
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
2 c (8 oz) candied fruit
1 c raisins
1 c nuts, coarsely chopped
Preheat oven 375*. Lightly grease cookie sheets and set aside. Beat sugar and shortening in large bowl until fluffy. Add eggs, orange juice and rum; beat 2 minutes longer.
Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in small bowl. Add fruit, raisins and nuts. Stir into creamed mixture. Drop dough by rounded teaspoons 2 inches apart on prepared cookie sheet. Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until golden. Let cookies stand on cookie sheet 2 minutes. Remove to wire rack; cool completely. Makes about 6 dozen.
