Fruit Cookies

An easy no bake ball cookie with crispy rice cereal, dates and coconut. 

No-bake macaroons made with oats, cocoa and coconut. Quick, easy and delicious. 

A very moist spice cookie that people will rave about. Makes a great after-school snack, or a tasty cookie on your Christmas cookie tray. 

Great tasting banana bars that are moist and sweet. Frost with cream cheese icing and enjoy! 

Regular and golden raisins are soaked in whiskey and combined with walnuts, pecans and candied cherries in these spiced drop cookies. 

An oatmeal drop cookie with tangy cranberries added to it. These are great topped with orange icing. 

These are tangy and sweet and VERY addicting. The recipe doubles well. 

This is a great old Texas recipe. Everyone seems to like it, but it's obviously only for grown-ups. 

This recipe has been handed down through my mother's family for years. My grandmother brought it with her from Italy in the early 1900's. My mom taught me the recipe this year. Now I am the designated person in our family to make the Fig Cookies. This is a very high honor. So they must be as good as my Grandmothers' cookies. Some call them Homemade Fig Newtons. They are a tradition at Christmas and are wonderful with a hot cup of coffee. They are lot of work. I make them in stages. First the dough, then a few days later the figs, and finally I will make the cookies. The dough and the figs keep well in the refrigerator and the cookies freeze very well. 

This recipe was given to me by my mother. It makes a BIG batch. They taste better and better if left a couple weeks before eating.
