- 1/2 cup butter
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 3 1/2 cups pecans, chopped
- 3 slices crystallized pineapple, chopped
- 1 cup crystallized cherries (mixture of red and green), chopped
- 1/3 cup raisins
- 2 eggs, well beaten
- 3 tablespoons milk
- 1 teaspoon rum flavoring
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour spooned into cup, then leveled
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Preheat oven to 250-degrees F. Slightly grease a cookie sheet or line with parchment paper; set aside.
Cream together the butter and brown sugar. Stir in the pecans, pineapple, cherries and raisins. Add the beaten eggs and milk and mix well.
In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda and cinnamon. Stir into wet ingredients.
Drop from spoon onto prepared cookie sheet. I used an approximate rounded teaspoonful for each cookie. These are not supposed to be large cookies.
Bake for approximately 30-35 minutes. Do not over-bake or else you will have rocks instead of cookies. Remove from oven and cool on a wire rack. Store in a covered container in a cool, dry place.
