Preparation
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper; in a bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
- In a separate large bowl, cream softened butter with both granulated and brown sugars until light and fluffy.
- Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla extract until well combined.
- Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined and a soft dough forms.
- Fold in the candied mixed fruit, raisins, and chopped walnuts until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, ensuring they are spaced about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are set.
- Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For an extra festive touch, sprinkle a little powdered sugar on the cooled cookies, or drizzle with a simple glaze made from powdered sugar and milk.
