Method
- Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a cookie sheet with a silicone mat or parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the egg, vanilla extract, almond extract, and lemon extract. Mix until combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and baking soda.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and mix until just combined.
- Fold in the diced candied pineapple, red cherries, green cherries, and pecans.
- Drop the cookie dough by heaping tablespoons onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing 3–4 inches apart.
- Bake for 20–25 minutes, until the edges are just golden brown. Cool on the sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
