Ingredients
Scale

- A pinch of salt
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1 cup mixed nuts
- 1 cup dried fruit (such as cranberries)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and brown sugar until fluffy and smooth.
- Beat in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
