Cooking Instructions
1.
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
2.
Line two sheet pans with parchment paper. Place the
Raw Almonds (1/3 cup)
,
Raw Walnuts (1/2 cup)
and
Raw Cashews (1/2 cup)
on a sheet pan and roast in preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, until well toasted. Cool completely, then roughly chop and set aside.
3.
Meanwhile, combine the
All-Purpose Flour (2 1/4 cups)
,
Baking Soda (1 tsp)
and
Kosher Salt (1 tsp)
in a small bowl and set aside.
4.
In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, or in a large mixing bowl if you are using a hand mixer, combine the
Unsalted Butter (1 cup)
,
Brown Sugar (1 cup)
and
Granulated Sugar (1/2 cup)
. Beat on medium-high speed for 3 minutes, until light and fluffy.
5.
With the mixer on low, add the
Vanilla Extract (1 tsp)
and the
Eggland's Best Classic Eggs (2)
, one at a time, and scrape down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula.
6.
With the mixer still on low, gradually add the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
7.
Add the
Dried Cranberries (3/4 cup)
,
Dried Apricots (1/2 cup)
, chopped nuts, and
Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips (1 cup)
into the batter and mix with a wooden spoon to combine.
8.
Using a 2¼-inch ice cream scoop or two spoons, form round balls of cookie dough about 2-inches in diameter. Place 9 balls of dough on each sheet pan, evenly spaced, and bake for 12-15 minutes, until just starting to turn golden brown and still soft to the touch. The cookies should seem under-baked; they will firm up as they cool.
9.
Sprinkle the cookies very lightly with
Salt (to taste)
and let them cool for 5 minutes before carefully transferring them to a wire rack to finish cooling. Serve immediately once cooled, or store in a sealed container at room temperature. Enjoy!
