How to Make Fruity Cookies
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter and ¾ cup granulated sugar using an electric mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy (about 2 minutes).
- Beat in 1 large egg and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder, and ½ teaspoon baking soda.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Stir in 8 ounces (1 cup) softened cream cheese, ½ cup chopped candied fruit mix, ½ cup crushed pineapple (drained), and ½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans.
- Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
- Press a pecan half onto the top of each cookie.
- Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown and the tops spring back when gently pressed.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 1 minute before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
