Recipe needed

[RhondaRoo]

I am looking for a recipe for fruitcake cookies. The one that I want had graham crackers in it. I think that it might be Icebox Fruitcake cookies, but I am not sure. I have found several recipes on the internet and in my cookbooks, but I cannot find the one that I am looking for.

Any help will be appreciated!

I have no idea. But, it's beginning to smell a lot like Christmas.

I love my fruit cake cookies. Made from scratch with all the spices and candied fruit. I've made them for years and they are one of my families favorite. Have to double the recipe also. My husband loves them with coffee. I'll email the recipe Dear Roo.

I do hope they are better than actual fruitcake.
