**Fruit Cake Mix Cookies**
**Ingredients:**
– 1 cup all-purpose flour
– 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
– 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
– 1/4 teaspoon salt
– 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
– 1/2 cup brown sugar
– 1/4 cup granulated sugar
– 1 large egg
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1 cup fruit cake mix (includes a mix of dried fruits and nuts)
**Instructions:**
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
3. In a separate large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
4. Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture, and beat until well combined.
5. Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the dough.
6. Gently fold in the fruit cake mix until evenly distributed throughout the cookie dough.
7. Using a cookie scoop or a spoon, portion out dough and roll into 1-inch balls. Place the dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
8. Flatten each dough ball slightly with the back of a fork or the palm of your hand.
9. Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
10. Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
11. Once cooled, store the Fruit Cake Mix Cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week. Enjoy with a glass of milk or a cup of hot tea for a delightful treat any time of day!
