Fruitcake, I have never tried it. Comments that I have heard have not been positive so I am lucky to have avoided it so far. I don’t remember it ever being at our house growing up. The only type of fruit and baking we saw during the holidays was Kolaches cookies. The cookies always seemed to show up at Christmas. I always preferred the apricot, my brother liked the blueberry. Mom and her friends made all types of flavors. The Kolaches did travel, they went to holiday parties, friends homes, and were mailed to family. My husband’s grandmother used to include them in her cookie tins she mailed each year. Below is my mother’s cookie recipe. I don’t think I could ever eat fruitcake when these yummy cookies around.
2 egg yolks
2 c. flour
1 tsp. vanilla
1 lg. pkg. cream cheese
2 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. salt
3 tsp. powdered sugar
Kolaches are our number one favorite Christmas sweet, even more than the chocolate stuff. These sound delicious.
