20 Holiday Fruit Cookies. Not Fruit Cake!
It’s time to dig in and enjoy these holiday fruit cookies recipes!
Ever year I hear so many jokes about how bad fruit cake is.
But to be honest, I’ve never actually tasted fruit cake. Not once.
There are just too many other calorie-worthy desserts!

20 Holiday Fruit Cookies
Enjoy two layers of cookies put together like a sandwich with jam.
Cream cheese-based cookies rolled in graham crackers and topped with pie filling. Each cookie is like a little bite of cheesecake but made without the hassle of a springform pan or water bath in the oven.
These large meringues are still soft and fluffy on the inside and best served with a dollop of cream or ice cream.
Delightful gingersnaps with a pretty twist to them.
These Cran-Pistachio Cookies are not only different from any other cookie you've ever made, they’re green and red… perfect for a Christmas cookie plate.
Absolutely flavor packed! They'll become a favorite quickly.
Jam thumbprint cookies are simple to make and look so lovely on a holiday table!Â
Cranberry Crumb Bars with Coconut and Clementine are an all time favorite baking recipe for a Christmas dessert or afternoon snack and any time around the winter holidays.
Delicious, chewy, orange flavored cookies dipped in chocolate.
These awesome Lemon Glazed Christmas Wreath Cookies are a not too sweet butter cookie with a sweet but tart lemon glaze shaped like a wreath.
These cookies are perfect for any holiday cookie exchange. Not only do they look like the perfect little snowballs, but they taste amazing, too. Â I love the little cherry surprise waiting in the middle!
