Candied-Fruit Cookies image

I found this recipe in a Family Circle cookie collection booklet. I thought they would look so festive on a cookie tray. Plus, the similarity to fruit cake, would be a cookie, that my mother would love. So, I will make some for her at Christmas time. I tweaked the recipe a little & forgot to say so when posting recipe & updating. Prep time, does not include chill time, in refrigerator.

- i reduced the amount of fruit in my dough, as i would like just a bit more of the cookie part over the fruit. i just eye-balled it
