Family Favorite Chewy Apricot Pecan Oatmeal Cookies image

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!

These cookies were a bit too crumbly for my taste. I think I'll try adding an extra egg next time.

These cookies were a bit dry. I think I might add a little bit of extra butter next time.

These cookies were a bit too sweet for my taste, but my kids loved them. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

Easy to make and so yummy! I used dried cherries instead of apricots and they were still delicious. Will definitely make again!
