FRUIT DROP COOKIES
This was my Aunt Margaret K. Sims' specialty! She made them by the hundreds for Christmas gifts. A tin of her cookies was always a favorite holiday treat. Aunt M always added flour to everything she baked, even cake mix. So add an extra third to half cup of flour to this mixture, and your cookies will turn out nice and mounded. As is, they spread out quite a bit.

Steps:
- Snip off the hard stems of the figs with scissors or a small knife and coarsely chop the figs. In a medium bowl, combine the figs, raisins, cherries, apricots, honey, sherry, lemon juice, pecans, and a pinch of salt. Cover with plastic wrap and allow to sit overnight at room temperature.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter, cloves, superfine sugar, and brown sugar on medium speed until smooth, about 3 minutes. With the mixer on low speed, add the egg and mix until incorporated. With the mixer still on low, slowly add the flour and 1/4 teaspoon salt just until combined. Don't over mix! Add the fruits and nuts, including any liquid in the bowl.
- Divide the dough in half and place each half on the long edge of a 12 by 18-inch piece of parchment or waxed paper. Roll each half into a log, 1 1/2 to 1 3/4-inch thick, making an 18-inch-long roll. Refrigerate the dough for several hours, or until firm.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- With a small, sharp knife, cut the logs into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Place the slices 1/2-inch apart on ungreased sheet pans and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until lightly golden.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400°. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or a reusable silpat.
- Cream together the butter and sugar, about 2 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time and mix for another minute.Pro Tip: crack your eggs into a separate bowl and then pour in, this will help avoid any shell pieces in your cookies!
- Pour in the buttermilk and vanilla and mix another minute.
- In a separate bowl sift together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, clove and nutmeg.
- Add the flour a little at a time to the cookie dough mixture, just until combined.
- Stir/Mix in the candied cherries, dates and chopped pecans. Pro Tip: if you want a more pronounced red and green look, save back 1/2 cup of each color cherries. Then dot the outside of the portioned cookies with the extra pieces.
- Drop the dough onto the parchment lined baking sheet, about a heaping tablespoon each.
- If using the pecan half, place on top of each cookie, pressing down to adhere and spread the cookie a little.
- Bake for 9-11 minutes. They will be done when the very outside edge is just starting to turn golden. They are a very soft cookie so they will seem under done in the center, but will firm up as they cool. Watch the first batch and see how long it takes, then use that time for the remaining batches. If you are baking in batches, place the remaining dough in the refrigerator until needed.
- Let the cookies cool for 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool the rest of the way.
