I LOVE this season because it gives me an excuse to bake all kinds of cakes, cookies, and sweets. My daughters get to help me out by rolling, decorating and coming up with original ideas. It’s messy, crazy, but a great way to bond with them.

I remember the time my oldest girl was beating up egg whites and she lifted the mixer off the bowl without turning it off. My whole kitchen was covered with meringue, including our clothing. She was mortified but at the end, we laughed it off and always remember that day.

What I love about these Fruitcake Cookies is the use of seasonal ingredients that I crave for all year long. Especially the combination of nuts, dried fruits, and glazed cherries. They’re so colorful, festive, and sweet.

The secret ingredient for this recipe is the use of orange juice and orange zest. They give it a tangy yet fresh flavor that compliments the rest of the ingredients.

You can freeze the dough for up to 6 months if you’re planning on making a double batch.
