Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour (with at least 11.5 % protein)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 pinch salt*
- 1 cup candied fruit
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips (unsweetened or milk)
- 1/2 cup nuts (hazelnut, walnuts or almonds) (coarsely chopped)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons butter (softened)*
- 1 large egg
- 3 tablespoons orange juice
- 1/2 tablespoon rum extract
*If you use unsalted butter then use ¼ teaspoon salt.
Instructions
- In a medium bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder, soda and salt, then stir in the candied fruit, chocolate chips and nuts.
- Beat together the sugar and butter until light and fluffy, approximately 2 minutes, then add the egg, orange juice and rum extract. Beat for two minutes.
- Add the flour mixture to the creamed mixture and mix to combine. (If you wish at this point you can chill the dough for 30-60 minutes). Drop by spoonfuls on parchment paper lined cookie sheets. Cover the cookie sheets with plastic wrap and chill for 15-20 minutes while the oven is pre-heating. Remove from the fridge and bake for 10-12 minutes or until slightly golden.
- Pre-heat oven to 350F (180C).
- Let cool on pan for approximately 5 minutes then move to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy!
Notes
- Once the cookie dough is mixed you can cover the bowl and chill for 30-60 minutes. You can also chill the dough balls on the prepared cookie sheets for 15-20 minutes while the oven is heating. This will help to keep the cookies from spreading.
- The cookies should be stored in an airtight container and will keep at room temperature for up to 3 days. Or store them in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
- They can also be frozen in a freezer safe bag or container. They will keep in the freezer for up to 3 months.
- The unbaked cookie balls can also be frozen for up to 3 months, freeze the balls first on a cookie sheet then move to a freezer safe container. They can be baked without thawing although they will take a bit longer to bake.
