Fruit Cake Cookies
Sunrise Fruits Products
This recipe comes from a label on a package of Sunrise Fruit Products candied fruit cake mix. The nice thing about this recipe is candied cherries and pineapple, and nuts, are available in Thailand, I have found them on Lazada. I can chop those to make the fruit cake mix.
