Brimming with candied fruit, coconut and pecans, these sweet morsels resemble fruitcakes. My grandmother would bake and serve the cookies in decorated miniature paper or foil muffin liners, and I have carried on the tradition.

These are ridiculously simple to make and taste great. I made it for a big party and it was a super duper hit. The next time I bake these, I'm thinking of baking them as cookies on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper and then serving them in mini muffin liners because it takes about 15-16 hours minimum to remove the cookie from the liner if it is baked in it. Or else we should try spraying the liners with non-stick cooking spray and then bake it. I have blogged about this here:
