"I LOVE FRUITCAKE. Yes, I'll say it again... I LOVE FRUITCAKE!!! But for those of you who don't (you'll come around eventually!), here's a tempting substitute. You won't even suspect what you're eating... The cardamom takes these over the top! TIME does not include overnight freezing time!"

Step by Step Method

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine the pecans, fruits and the 1/4 cup flour. Toss to coat well with the flour. Set aside.

Step 2

With an electric mixer, cream the butter. Gradually add the brown sugar, beating well. Add the eggs and beat well.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, combine the flour, soda and cardamom. Gradually add the flour mixture to the creamed mixture, beating well.

Step 4

Stir in the fruit mixture, cover and chill.

Step 5

Divide the dough into 3 portions.. Spoon each portion onto waxed paper, shaping into 12 inch logs. Wrap in the wax paper and freeze at least 24 hours.

Step 6

Remove the wax paper, one log at a time, and slice into 1/4 thick slices and place on lightly greased cookie sheets.

Step 7

Bake at 350 for 6 minutes or until lightly browned. Let cool slightly on cookie sheet and remove to wire racks to cool completely.

This recipe makes a lot of cookies. That is a good thing though. Made the entire batch, and made as posted. The cardamom does add some pizzazz to it, have to admit that. 4 dozen of these went to my sons high school for a bake sale, raising money to go to Indy at the end of the month for a basketball tournament. Sold all of them everyone enjoyed them too. The rest are here, very good, usually have the dark raisins, but great the way they are. Thanks for a great holiday recipe.
