Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 120 grams unsalted butter
- 100 grams brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 160 grams all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 80 grams raisins or sultanas
- 60 grams chopped walnuts
- 50 grams candied cherries, chopped
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the unsalted butter and brown sugar together until light and fluffy using a wooden spoon or electric mixer.
Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
Fold in the raisins, chopped walnuts, and candied cherries until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Using a tablespoon, drop spoonfuls of the dough onto the prepared baking tray, spacing them about 2 inches apart as they will spread slightly during baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking tray for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature with a cup of tea or coffee. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to one week.
