1 tablespoon candied citrus peel (orange and lemon) |
2 ounces butter |
1/4 cup sugar |
1 ounce candied cherry |
1/2 ounce crystallized ginger |
1 tablespoon cream |
1 (18 ounce) box chocolate cake mix |
2 large eggs |
1/3 cup vegetable oil |
Directions:
1. Finely chop walnuts, almonds, raisins, orange and lemon peel, cherries, and ginger.
2. Melt butter in a saucepan, then add sugar and stir over low heat until sugar is dissolved.
3. Bring to a boil and let it boil for 1 minute without stirring (until just turning light golden).
4. Remove from heat and mix well with cream and fruit-nut mixture.
5. Mix cake mix with two eggs and oil.
6. Combine all ingredients.
7. Scoop a heaping spoonful of dough onto cookies sheet lined with foil.
