Equipment

  • Stand Mixer

Ingredients

  • 1 cup All-Purpose flour
  • 6 tablespoon Butter softened (¾th stick)
  • ½ cup Confectionary sugar
  • cup Tutti frutti/candied cherry or other fruits
  • ½ teaspoon Vanilla extract
  • 1 to 2 tablespoon Milk

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and keep it aside.
  • Cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. To this add the vanilla and mix well.
  • Sift the flour and add it to the butter mixture slowly. Mix well. Now add the tutti frutti too and mix it well. I did not use any milk to form a dough, but if the mixture looks crumbly, slowly add the milk to get a sticky dough.
  • Gather the dough on the work surface and bring it all together. Form a log in the desired size and roll it in parchment/wax paper and freeze it for about 45 mins.
  • Once the dough is hard, cut it into slices using a very sharp knife. Make sure you cut it in one move, otherwise the edges might crumble. If that happens, just use your fingers to form the shape and lay it on the prepared baking tray.
  • Bake them for about 10-15 mins or until the edges are slightly brown. Keep an eye from about 10 mins, because depending on the thickness of the cookies they cook either at 10 mins or it might take slightly longer.
  • Cool them on racks and store the Fruit Cookies in airtight containers.

Notes

  • You could use any candied fruit to make this cookie. If candied fruits are not available use any dried fruits that are chopped into small pieces.
  • Slice the cookies uniformly because the baking time depends on the thickness. If the cookies are sliced unevenly, some might get burnt before the others are cooked through.
