Hi Myrna & Pat, So glad that you all are enjoying the Goodies. Pat, those Fruit Cake Cookies sound delicious. Even though I can't eat as many of these Sweet Treats as I used to due to my problems with Sugar, I still enjoy making them, and they make Great Gifts at the holidays. Here's an Apple Walnut Cake that I really like. This slightly spicy cake is better if you use butter, and it's also delicious warmed up the next morning along with your Coffee. Apple Walnut Cake
