In a seperate bowl, sift flour, baking soda and salt together. Add in flour mix to egg and sugar mix; add in vanilla. Mix well. Add in candied fruit and nuts. Drop by rounded spoonfuls onto lightly oiled cookie sheet and bake at 350 for about 10-12 min. The cookies will be just browned at the edges. Hint: You may have to mix candied fruit and nuts in with your hands; a little shortening on your fingers will keep the mix from sticking.
