Hi, I add everything, so soaked fruit + leftover brandy that didn't get soaked up by the fruit! And thank you for your comment because it made me realize the way I wrote it out isn't clear so I will update the recipe 😉

Do use the brandy in the dough or drain it out?

Hi! Slice & bake cookies like this can be stored for weeks in my opinion, in a sealed container. And by the way, feel free to cut them as thick or thin as you'd like. Some years I cut them thinner than pictured here. You just may have to adjust the baking time accordingly 😉

Update: made 'em and wow! Awesome. I love them and have received naught but compliments for them! Thanks again for the recipe. 🙂

Exactly, Kim! Great way to use up the odds and ends of glacéed cherries and candied peel. Merry Christmas 🙂
