List of Ingredients




2 1/4 cup flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt
2 sticks butter, room temperature
1 cup of packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups hazelnuts, chopped
1 1/2 cups pecan, chopped
5 dried pears, chopped
1 1/2 cups dried cranberries, chopped
5 dried figs chopped



Recipe



Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line a baking sheet with a silpat mat or parchment paper and set aside. Combine flour, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl; set aside.
In a bowl with an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream butter on medium speed until smooth. Add sugars and beat until light and fluffy; about 3 minutes. Beat in eggs one at a time until combined. Beat in vanilla.

Add flour mixture all at once, and beat on low speed until combined. Add nuts and dried fruit. Again, beat until well combined.

Drop batter by 2 heaping tablespoons at a time onto prepared baking sheets about 2 inches apart. Bake until golden 12 to 15 minutes, rotating halfway through. Remove from oven, let cool and transfer to a wire rack.
