Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and prepare a cookie sheet with parchment paper.

Cream softened butter and sugar in a mixing bowl until light and fluffy for about 3-5 minutes.

Incorporate the egg and extracts into the mixture until fully combined and smooth.

Mix the flour, baking soda, and salt together, then gradually add to the wet ingredients, stirring just until incorporated.

Fold in the chopped candied fruit and nuts evenly.

Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared cookie sheet, spacing them 3-4 inches apart.

Bake for 20-25 minutes until edges are golden and centers are slightly soft.

Cool on the sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
