Add the egg and vanilla extract to the creamed butter mixture and beat thoroughly until fully combined.

Stir in the peanut butter until the mixture is smooth and homogeneous.

Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula or mixer on low speed until just combined; avoid overmixing.

Fold in the chopped nuts, dried fruit, and chocolate chips evenly throughout the dough.

Scoop dough using a large spoon or ice cream scoop onto the prepared baking sheet, flattening slightly to form cookie shapes. Bake for 12-15 minutes until edges are golden but centers remain soft.

Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
