Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1/2 c Shortening
1/2 t Baking soda
1/2 c Cream cheese -- softened
1/2 t Salt
1 c Light brown sugar -- *
1 tb Vanilla
1/2 c Granulated sugar
2 c Candied fruit -- mixed
2 Eggs
2 c Broken pecans or almonds
3 c Flour

* firmly packed

The cream cheese gives these cookies a smooth texture,
while the fruits sparkle and sweeten the flavor. Nice
for using the candied fruits that didn't make it into
the fruit cake.

Preheat oven to 350x.

In a large bowl, cream shortening and cream cheese
until smooth and fluffy. Add sugars and eggs, mixing
well. In a separate bowl, sift flour, baking soda and
salt together.

Add flour mixture to egg and sugar mixture; add
vanilla. Mix well. Add candied fruit and nuts.

Drop by rounded spoonfuls onto lightly oiled cookie
sheet and bake at 350x for about 10-12 minutes. The
cookies will be just browned at the edges.

Hint: You may have to mix candied fruit and nuts in
with your hands; a little shortening on your fingers
will keep the mixture from sticking.

Yield: 3 dozen. Irene Holloway, Chevy Chase, MD
