In an electric stand mixer, mix butter and sugar until creamy. Add eggs and vanilla, keep whipping until puffy and soft. Add dry ingredients gradually except nuts and dried fruits. Once the simple batter is ready, divide it into 4 separate bowls. Add walnuts and raisins to one. Add pecans and apricots to another. Add pistachio and golden raisins to one. And add almonds and cranberries to the last. On lined baking sheets, scoop out uniform cookie rounds and bake at 350 degrees F for 20 minutes.
