Instructions
- 1 Gather all ingredients. Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Grease several baking sheets.
- 2 Sift flour, cinnamon, and baking soda into a large bowl; set aside.
- 3 Beat butter and sugar together in a separate large bowl with an electric mixer until fluffy, about 5 minutes. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- 4 Add flour mixture in batches, alternating with about 2 tablespoons of milk, beating batter briefly after each addition until the mixture is soft. Beat in sherry, then stir in nuts, pineapple, cherries, dates, and raisins until thoroughly mixed.
- 5 Drop spoonfuls of dough 2 inches apart onto the prepared baking sheets.
- 6 Bake in the preheated oven until the cookies are set and the bottoms are very lightly browned, about 20 to 30 minutes.
- 7 Cool on the baking sheet briefly before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
