How to Make Fruit And Nut Refrigerator Cookies
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Use an electric mixer for best results.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Stir in the mixed candied fruit and nuts.
- Cover the bowl and chill the dough in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours) to firm up.
- On a lightly floured surface, shape the dough into two smooth rolls, approximately 1 1/2 inches in diameter.
- Wrap each roll tightly in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator overnight (or for at least 4 hours) to allow the flavors to meld and the dough to firm.
- Once chilled, unwrap the dough rolls and slice into 1/4-inch thick rounds using a sharp knife.
- Place the sliced cookies onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between each cookie.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. Keep a close eye on them as oven temperatures can vary.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
