My chewy dried fruit cookies strike the perfect balance between wholesome and delicious. If you're like me, you love indulgent treats that are still a little healthier and super easy to make. My recipe is exactly that - with half the amount of sugar and whole wheat flour, and featuring tart, dried cherries, and crunchy pecans. It's perfect for anyone who loves a fruity dessert that's ideal for the whole family and great for the holidays too!

Place all the butter and brown sugar in a large bowl and beat with an electric mixer for 2 minutes until light and fluffy.
Add the egg and milk, and beat to combine thoroughly.
In a small separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda and salt.
Add half the dry ingredients into the butter mixture, combine fully, then add the remaining half and beat until combined. Do not over mix.
Stir in the pecans and mixed fruit.
Use a small cookie scoop to portion out the cookie dough and the refrigerate for 1 hour.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F and remove cookie dough from the fridge.
