Step 1

Preheat oven to 325 F.

Step 2

In a small mixing bowl, combine flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In the bowl of a stand mixer with paddle attachment fitted (or in a large mixing bowl with a hand mixer), combine brown sugar, granulated sugar, and melted butter together and beat until well mixed, about 1 minute.

Step 4

Add egg, egg yolk, and vanilla, and mix for 1 more minute. Scrape down the sides, then mix again until combined.

Step 5

With the mixer running on low, add the dry ingredients and mix until just incorporated.

Step 6

Fold in candied cherries, candied pineapple, raisins, and walnuts.

Step 7

Use a medium cookie scoop to scoop out 2 tablespoons of dough. Use your hands to roll into balls. Place each cookie ball 2 inches apart on a half sheet baking pan lined with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper.

Step 8

Bake for 15 minutes, rotating the tray about halfway through cook time.

Step 9

Let cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool for about 5 minutes further.
