Yield: 24 cookies
Cuisine: Christmas
Ingredients: 1 cup unsalted butter, softened; 1 cup brown sugar; 2 eggs; 1 teaspoon vanilla extract; 2 cups all-purpose flour; 1 teaspoon baking powder; 1/2 teaspoon salt; 1 cup mixed dried fruits (such as raisins, cranberries, and apricots); 1/2 cup chopped nuts (such as walnuts or pecans); 1/2 cup brandy or rum; 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon; 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg; 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, cream together the butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until well combined.
In a small bowl, combine the mixed dried fruits, chopped nuts, and brandy or rum. Let the mixture sit for about 10 minutes to allow the fruits to absorb the liquid.
Fold the fruit and nut mixture into the cookie dough until evenly distributed.
Using a cookie scoop or a spoon, drop rounded dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, you can drizzle them with a simple icing made by mixing powdered sugar with a little water or lemon juice for an extra touch of sweetness.
