Cuisine: American
Ingredients: 1 cup all-purpose flour; 1/2 teaspoon baking powder; 1/4 teaspoon baking soda; 1/4 teaspoon salt; 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon; 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg; 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves; 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened; 1/2 cup brown sugar; 1/4 cup granulated sugar; 1 large egg; 1 teaspoon vanilla extract; 1/2 cup chopped dried mixed fruits (such as raisins, cranberries, and apricots); 1/2 cup chopped nuts (such as pecans or walnuts); 1/4 cup chopped candied cherries

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves until well combined. Set aside.
In a separate larger bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, beating well until combined.
Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until a soft dough forms.
Gently fold in the chopped dried fruits, nuts, and candied cherries until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop rounded tablespoons of the cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the cookies to cool for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
