OATMEAL DRIED FRUIT COOKIES
These are the best oatmeal cookies I've ever had! Very buttery and very hearty. Any dried fruit works well such as cherries, raisins, cranberries, blueberries, or chopped apricots. For a really decadent treat, use chocolate chips and nuts instead of fruit.

Tips:
- Use old-fashioned rolled oats for the best texture and flavor in your cookies.
- Chop the dried fruit into small pieces so that they distribute evenly throughout the cookies.
- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes 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 around the edges but still soft in the center. Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly.
- Let the cookies cool completely on a wire rack before storing them in an airtight container. This will help them keep their shape and flavor.
