APRICOT OATMEAL COOKIES (VEGAN)



Apricot Oatmeal Cookies (Vegan) image

I hear these are soft and chewy and delicious, and I can't wait to try them! Recipe by Brenda Walsh on the show Cooking with the Micheff Sisters on their Holiday Cooking Swap episode. Keep fresh by storing in an air-tight plastic container. For variety, try adding raisins, dried cranberries, or dried prunes. You can also substitute pecans for the walnuts, or use other nuts as you like. She didn't specify the amount of cookies it makes so I did an estimation based on some of my own cookie recipes, so let me know if it's off. Enjoy!

These cookies are very chewy and not overly sweet. Chopped dried apricots add a surprising fruity taste and go well with the oats and almonds.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes     Cookie Recipes

Time 50m

Yield Makes 12

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/4 cups rolled oats
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
1/2 cup packed light-brown sugar
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup roughly chopped dried apricots
3/4 cup slivered almonds

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a medium bowl, combine oats, flour, baking powder, and salt; set aside.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer, cream butter and sugars on medium speed until smooth; beat in egg and vanilla. With mixer on low speed, add oat mixture, and mix until just combined. Stir in apricots and almonds by hand.
  • Divide dough into 12 pieces, and roll into balls. Place balls 3 to 4 inches apart on baking sheets. Using your fingers, flatten balls to about a 3/4-inch thickness.
  • Bake cookies until edges begin to brown, 25 to 30 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes on baking sheet, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Tips:

  • Use ripe apricots. This will ensure that your cookies are naturally sweet and flavorful. If you don't have ripe apricots, you can use dried apricots that have been soaked in hot water for 10 minutes.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough. Mix the dough just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set. Overbaking will make the cookies dry and crumbly. The cookies should be slightly soft in the center when you take them out of the oven.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before storing them. This will help them keep their shape and prevent them from becoming soggy.

Conclusion:

These apricot oatmeal cookies are a delicious and healthy snack that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a snack. The cookies are also a good source of fiber, protein, and vitamins. If you are looking for a vegan cookie recipe that is easy to make and packed with flavor, then these apricot oatmeal cookies are the perfect choice for you.
