I have to say the fruitcake cookies look really nice. I just can't get over the fact that it's fruitcake.

Sorry, it's not exciting, a simple butter cookie, the kind most make with a cookie press. I do not have a great recipe for them and the next one I get from someone I plan to snag the recipe.

My favorite Christmas cookies are pfefferneuse, love the spices and powdered sugar.
