How to Make Almond Raisin Winter Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 170°C (350°F). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Roughly chop 1 cup of almonds.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened butter, ¾ cup granulated sugar, and 1 large egg until light and fluffy.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon, ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg, ¼ teaspoon ground cloves, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Gently fold in the chopped almonds, ½ cup raisins, and ½ cup dried cranberries.
  7. Roll the dough into walnut-sized balls (approximately 1 inch in diameter).
  8. Place the dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between each cookie.
  9. Gently flatten each cookie slightly with a fork.
  10. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
  11. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
