Yield Makes about 30 large cookies

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup firmly packed dark brown sugar
1 large egg, beaten lightly
1/2 teaspoon baking soda dissolved in 1 tablespoon warm water
2/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups of old-fashioned rolled oats
1/2 cup chopped dried apricots
1/2 cup chopped pitted prunes
1/2 cup dried sour cherries or dried cranberries (available at specialty foods shops)

Steps:

  • In a large bowl cream the butter with the brown sugar and beat in the egg, the baking soda mixture, the flour, the salt, and the vanilla. Stir in the oats, the apricots, the prunes, and the cherries and combine the dough well. Drop rounded tablespoons of the dough about 4 inches apart onto greased baking sheets and with a fork dipped in cold water flatten and spread each mound into a thin round, about 2 1/2 inches in diameter. Bake the cookies in batches in the middle of a preheated 375°F. oven 8 to 10 minutes, or until they are golden, transfer them with a spatula to racks, and let them cool. The cookies keep in an airtight container at room temperature for 5 days.

These cookies are a great way to use up leftover dried fruit. I always have a bag of dried fruit in my pantry and I love to use it to make these cookies.

I love how versatile these cookies are. You can add any type of dried fruit or nuts that you like. I have even added chocolate chips before and they were delicious.

These cookies were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I think next time I will use less sugar.

These cookies were so delicious and easy to make! I used a mix of raisins, cranberries, and apricots, and they turned out perfectly. The cookies were soft and chewy, with just the right amount of sweetness. I will definitely be making these again!
