Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a baking sheet with silicone baking mats or parchment paper.
- Cream together the room-temperature unsalted butter and granulated sugar for about 3-5 minutes until light and fluffy.
- Add in the egg, vanilla, almond, and lemon extracts to the butter and sugar mixture, mixing until well combined.
- In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, salt, and baking soda, then gently fold into the wet mixture.
- Fold in the chopped candied fruits and pecans, ensuring even distribution throughout the cookie dough.
- Using a tablespoon, scoop out dough portions and drop them onto the prepared cookie sheet, spaced 3-4 inches apart.
- Bake for approximately 20-25 minutes, until edges are golden brown and centers are slightly soft.
- Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes
Dust chopped candied fruits with flour to prevent clumping. Avoid overbaking for a tender texture. Store cookies in an airtight container with a slice of bread to maintain moisture.
