   1                    Egg -- slightly beaten
   2       tb           Brandy
   8       oz           Dates -- chopped & pitted
   4       oz           Candied red cherries -- chopped
   4       oz           Candied mixed fruit -- chopped
   4       oz           Candied pineapple -- chopped
     1/2   c            Blanched almonds (optional)
     1/2   c            Brazil nuts (optional) -OR-
   1       c            Walnuts -- chopped

  Sift flour, soda, salt, and cinnamon together.

  Cream butter and sugar until fluffy light in medium size bowl, beat
  in eggs and brandy.

  Stir in flour mixture, half at a time, blending well to make a soft
  dough. Stir in the remainer of the ingredients, mixing to coat
  everything.

  Drop batter, a rounded teaspoon full at a time, 1" apart onto a
  lightly greased cookie sheet.

  Bake at 350°F for 12 minutes or until firm and lightly browned.

  When cool, store in an air tight container. These cookie dry out
  quickly and get hard otherwise.
