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.
