Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup chopped candied fruit
  • 1 cup chopped nuts (pecans or walnuts)
  • 1 cup raisins
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Instructions

  • Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  • Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  • Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually blend these dry ingredients into the creamed mixture.
  • Mix in Fruits and Spices: Stir in the chopped candied fruit, nuts, raisins, cinnamon, and nutmeg until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  • Drop Dough: Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets.
  • Bake: Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly browned. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.

Notes

  • Ensure the butter is well-softened to achieve a light and fluffy texture.
  • For best results, avoid overmixing the dough once the flour is added to prevent tough cookies.
