Ingredients

The following ingredients have 15 Servings
  • 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

Instruction

  • 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!
