- 1 egg
- 1 egg yolk
- 1/2 tablespoon of vanilla extract (about 7.5g)
- 2 cups of flour (280g)

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (about 350°F).
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, cornstarch, ground cinnamon, and grated nutmeg.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a dough forms.
- Fold in the candied fruits, dried cranberries, and sliced almonds until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Scoop out portions of dough and roll them into balls, then place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Make sure to leave some space between each cookie dough ball to allow for spreading.
- Flatten each ball slightly with the palm of your hand or the back of a spoon.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the cookies are set.
- Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, serve and enjoy your delicious homemade Christmas cookies
