INGREDIENTS
•
1 1/3 cups flour
•
1/2 teaspoon salt
•
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
•
1 tsp cinnamon
•
1/2 tsp ground cloves
•
1/2 tsp freshly grated nutmeg
•
NOTE: the cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg are optional here. Traditional light fruitcake does not include spices but you may add them if you wish; the cookies are delicious either way.
•
1/2 cup butter
•
1/2 cup light brown sugar
•
1/2 cup sugar
•
1 egg
•
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
•
1 1/2 cups chopped mixed dried fruit (use whatever you like in whatever combination you like, I've used glace cherries, mixed glace citrus peel, pineapple etc)
•
1/2 cup chopped pecans (optional)
