My mom made these when I was a small child and I still make them for Christmas today! These fruit cake cookies can be shaped into rolls and frozen or made in 2 loaf pans and frozen. It must be kept frozen until served. They are much better than a cooked fruitcake with the candied fruit!

Under Distinctly Christmas Cookies+ General+ Sugar Cookies
This cookie dough is perfect for holiday cookies: it holds its shape when baked and can easily be doubled. Not too sweet, slightly crisp and flaky from the leavening, the cookies are delicious unadorned, but are nice, too, sprinkled with cinnamon-sugar or decorating sugar before baking. The recipe is from New York City pastry chef Michael Morehouse, who named the cookies for the aunt who passed the recipe on to him.

1 tsp. cream of tartar
8 oz. (2 sticks) butter, softened
1 1/2 C. confectioner’s sugar
