Mrs. Claus's Cookies

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease baking sheets

In a large bowl of mixer, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add egg, vanilla and rum flavoring.

Sift together flour, baking soda and salt; add to egg mixture. Stir in nuts, chocolate, coconut and fruit.

Drop batter by heaping teaspoons 2 inches apart onto baking sheets. Bake for 13 to 15 minutes (less for chewy cookies, more for crispy) or until golden. Transfer to racks to cool.
