Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 large egg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup candied fruit mix
- 0.5 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 4
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and mix until fully combined.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until a dough forms.
Step 6
Fold in the candied fruit mix and chopped nuts (if using) until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Step 7
Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are slightly golden but the centers remain soft.
Step 9
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Once cooled, place the cookies in a freezer-safe container or bag and freeze for at least 1 hour before serving. Enjoy the cookies straight from the freezer for a frosty, chewy treat!
