If you have salted butter, it will work. Just adjust the salt in the recipe accordingly, otherwise your cookies may be too salty<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>sugar<\/strong>\u2014we use a combination of <strong>granulated sugar<\/strong> (helps give a crispy edge) and <strong>brown sugar<\/strong> (for flavour and softness). The combination leads to the perfect texture for a slice-and-bake cookie, not too soft, not too crunchy.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>eggs<\/strong>\u2014use <strong>large eggs<\/strong>. Smaller eggs may lead to a dryer cookie dough and your cookies won't spread enough. Extra large eggs could cause the cookie dough to puff too much as it bakes, leading to a more cake-y cookie<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>all-purpose flour <\/strong>is needed to bind all the ingredients together and give the cookies structure. If you don't use enough flour, your cookies may spread too much as they bake or they may fall apart with all the dried fruit.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>spices<\/strong>\u2014I used a combination of <strong>ground cardamom and allspice<\/strong>. Feel free to vary the spices. You can try cinnamon, nutmeg, or cloves too if you prefer. Just remember with some of these warm spices, a little goes a long way!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>salt<\/strong> is really important to balance out the sweet flavour of the candied fruit and dried fruit. Don't skip it. I like to use Diamond Crystal fine kosher salt, but table salt will work, though the cookies will be saltier and you may want to halve the salt in that case.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>candied and\/or dried fruit<\/strong> is the secret to the best fruitcake cookies because they add a ton of flavour and sweetness and you can choose your favourites to mix into the cookie dough.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>nuts<\/strong>\u2014I used <strong>toasted walnuts<\/strong>. They add both flavour and texture to the cookie. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><em>See recipe card for exact quantities. <\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"substitutions-and-variations\"   class=\"wp-block-heading\">Substitutions and Variations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You can get creative with a few of the ingredients:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Alcohol<\/strong>\u2014I used brandy, but you could also use spiced or dark rum. The flavour is subtle in the final cookie but the alcohol helps hydrate the dried fruit to plump it.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Spices<\/strong>\u2014instead of ground cardamom and allspice, you can try cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, or ginger.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Dried\/candied fruit<\/strong>\u2014I used a combination of raisins, mixed candied fruit (citrus peel and cherries, diced finely), but you could use dried apricots, dried cranberries, dried dates, diced crystallized ginger, or even chopped dried figs. Use the fruit you like, and keep the total weight of candied\/dried fruit the same as in the recipe.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Nuts<\/strong>\u2014instead of the walnuts, replace them with the same weight of toasted almonds (chopped) and you could even incorporate pure almond extract in the dough to enhance that flavour. You could also try pecans or hazelnuts, if you prefer.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"how-to-make-slice-and-bake-fruitcake-cookies\"   class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Make Slice-and-Bake Fruitcake Cookies<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Slice-and-bake cookies are your best bet when it comes to pumping out a large number of cookies in a short amount of time and with less effort. Why? Because slice-and-bake cookie dough can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for several days. Or you can freeze it for up to 1 month. When you are ready to bake, try to take the cookie dough out of the freezer the day before. Then all you have to do is slice and bake them!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\"><div class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\">\n<figure class=\"size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1600\" data-pin-description=\"Learn how to make the best fruitcake cookies with this easy recipe.

Just make sure to set a timer when you do this because it's so easy to forget them. It can take 10\u201315 minutes depending how packed they are on the sheet pan and your oven temperature. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Toasting nuts in the oven is more even than in a skillet on the stove.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"slice-and-bake-cookie-faqs\"   class=\"wp-block-heading\">Slice-and-Bake Cookie FAQs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block\"><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1701716218254\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">How do I stop slice-and-bake cookie dough from flattening on one side?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">When you refrigerate a log of cookie dough, initially the dough is soft and pliable. The side resting on your fridge shelf will flatten out a little. To avoid this, rotate the log of dough every 10 minutes to allow it to cool evenly while maintaining the shape of the log. Alternatively, you can try placing the log of dough in a paper towel cardboard roll. Cut it lengthwise and slide your wrapped dough in the tube. The same may happen when you press the log while slicing it into cookies. The trick again is to rotate the log every few slices to maintain the shape.<br\/>For these cookies, I avoided the issue by creating a square log! <\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1701716644317\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Why did my icebox cookies spread?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">If your cookies spread out, either your oven wasn't hot enough, your dough wasn't chilled properly, or you may have mismeasured the butter, sugar, or flour. Please read about <a href=\"https:\/\/bakeschool.com\/why-chill-cookie-dough\/\">why cookies spread<\/a> to find out more about this issue.<\/p> <\/div> <\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"what-if-you-hate-fruitcake\"   class=\"wp-block-heading\">What if You Hate Fruitcake?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you don't love fruitcake, I'm not here to judge you.
