Ingredients

• 1 Cup Brown sugar, packed (I use dark, or whatever I have on hand)
• 2 Cups Baking Mix (I prefer House-Autry or Pioneer, but Bisquick will work in a pinch)
• 1 Egg
• 1 Stick margarine, melted and cooled
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1 + 1/2 Cups diced fruit cake mix (or diced candied fruit of your choice)
• 1/2 Cup raisins
• 1/2 Cup sliced almonds (the almonds add a GREAT texture)
• 1/2 Cup chopped walnuts or pecans

Instructions

1. Combine first six ingredients in large mixing bowl.
2. Mix until well blended. Stir in fruit and nuts.
3. Pat into well greased 8×8 pan and bake at 350 for 30-35 minutes.

5. Makes 16-25 cookies, depending on how small you cut them.
