The smell of dried fruit cookies baking in my kitchen always makes me wonder why it is not a more popular cookie. I use simple ingredients like whole wheat flour, tart dried cherries, and crunchy pecans for these cookies with a soft center, lightly crisp edges, and a naturally sweet flavor.

Place all the butter and brown sugar in a large bowl and beat with an electric mixer for 2 minutes until light and fluffy.
Add the egg and milk, and beat to combine thoroughly.
In a small separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda and salt.
Add half the dry ingredients into the butter mixture, combine fully, then add the remaining half and beat until combined. Do not over mix.
Stir in the pecans and mixed fruit.
Use a small cookie scoop to portion out the cookie dough and the refrigerate for 1 hour.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F and remove cookie dough from the fridge.
Make sure your cookies are spaced 2" apart on a parchment or silicone mat lined cookie sheet. Bake for 8-10 minutes.
Allow cookies to cool for one minute on the cookie sheet before moving to a cooling rack.
