FAMILY FAVORITE CHEWY APRICOT PECAN OATMEAL COOKIES
It was my turn to make the fellowship treat for church. Between Sunday School and the morning service we have a short coffee break where we enjoy coffee, juice and some sort of coffee cake etc... I wanted something some what healthy that everyone could easily grab. I had a big container of oatmeal and dried apricots in the pantry and used them as my jumping point. These even make a fantastic breakfast cookie!

OATMEAL PECAN COOKIES
I adapted these from a King Arthur recipe. We enjoyed these healthy wheat free cookies. If you double the recipe and use 2 cookie sheets reverse them halfway through baking (top to bottom, bottom to top). Watch for over baking.

Pulse until the nuts are finely chopped and evenly distributed. **You should end up with a fine meal. This is taking the place of flour**.
- Beat the butter and sugars in a large bowl until smooth.
- Add the egg, scraping the bowl and beating until smooth.
- Stir in the vinegar and vanilla, then the oat mixture.
- Drop the dough by 1/2 tablespoonfuls onto prepared baking sheet. (They don't spread much).
- Bake cookies for 10-14 minutes until the edges are barely browned.
- Remove them from the oven and let them cool on baking sheet for about 5 minutes.
- Transfer to rack or paper bag to cool completely.
- **Mine turned out as small round puffy soft and slightly chewy cookies**.

Tips:
- Use room temperature ingredients: This will help the cookies spread and bake evenly.
- Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing will make the cookies tough.
- Chill the dough before baking: This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
- Bake the cookies until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set: Overbaking will make the cookies dry and crumbly.
- Let the cookies cool on a wire rack before serving: This will help them to firm up and prevent them from falling apart.
