Old Fashioned Fruitcake Cookies 

• Preheat oven to 300°F and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
• Cream butter and sugar until fluffy. Add the egg, vanilla, almond, and lemon extracts, mixing well.
• In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and baking soda. Gradually add to the butter mixture and mix until combined.
• Fold in the candied fruits and pecans.
• Drop the dough by heaping tablespoons onto the prepared cookie sheet, spacing them 3-4 inches apart.
• Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown. Cool on the sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes:
For less spreading, refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes before baking. Store in an airtight container for a few days or in the refrigerator for longer storage. These cookies can also be frozen for several months.
