  • Total Time: 22 minutes
  • Yield: Approximately 24 cookies 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2¼ cups all-purpose flour
  • ¾ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ¾ cup light brown sugar (packed)
  • ½ cup unsalted butter (room temperature)
  • 1 large egg (room temperature)
  • 1½ tablespoons alcohol-free vanilla extract
  • 1 cup paradise fruit and peel mix
  • ½ cup chopped pecans
  • ½ cup chopped walnuts

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together flour, salt, and baking soda; set aside.
  3. In a stand mixer, cream the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and butter until fluffy.
  4. Add the egg and vanilla extracts; mix until combined.
  5. Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients; do not overmix. Fold in nuts and fruit mix gently.
  6. Scoop tablespoon-sized portions onto the baking sheet, spacing them about two inches apart.
