Easy For Fruit Cake Cookies

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg until well combined. Set aside.

3. In another bowl, cream together the softened butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy.

4. Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture, beating until smooth and well incorporated.

5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a soft dough forms.

6. Fold in the mixed dried fruits and chopped nuts, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.

7. Using a cookie scoop or spoon, portion out small rounds of dough and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

8. Flatten each dough ball slightly with the back of a spoon or your fingers to create a cookie shape.

9. Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.

10. Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

11. Once cooled, serve these scrumptious Fruit Cake Cookies with a cup of tea, coffee, or your favorite festive beverage.
