Baking Instructions

• Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
• Cream together butter and sugar using a mixer until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.
• Add the egg and extracts (vanilla, almond, lemon) to the mixture and mix until well combined.
• Whisk together flour, salt, and baking soda in a separate bowl, then gradually incorporate it into the wet ingredients.
• Fold in the chopped candied fruit and pecans gently until evenly distributed.
• Drop heaping tablespoons of dough onto the prepared cookie sheet, spacing them about 3-4 inches apart.
• Bake for 20-25 minutes until the edges are golden brown but the centers remain slightly soft.
• Cool the cookies on the sheet for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
