Officially kicking off the holiday season with these Classic Bourbon Fruitcake Cookies. Made with double the glacé fruit, dates, and pecans, these cookies are soft, bourbon-y, and perfectly sweet with hints of caramel throughout. They are seriously generous with delicious pecans, chopped dates, and sweet candied fruit... It truly makes these cookies melt in your mouth! The real secret in these cookies is that mixture of bourbon, brown sugar, and finding some glacé fruit with lemon and orange peel! Each ingredient makes these cookies incredibly flavorful, soft, and oh so delicious. Finish them off with some candied orange peel or a large scoop of vanilla ice cream to keep the decorating simple and super easy. You can just leave them plain, too!

GOOD.
