How to Make Fruit Cookies
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon baking powder, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves, and 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 1 1/2 cups packed light brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, then beat in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Fold in 1 1/2 cups chopped candied fruit (see note below).
- Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving 2 inches between each cookie.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
