A very hearty and tasty cookie. One of my favorites. Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour |
1/2 teaspoon baking soda |
1 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
1/2 pound (2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature |
1 cup granulated sugar |
1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed |
2 large eggs at room temperature |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats |
1 cup raisins |
1 cup dried apricot pieces |
1 cup toasted pecans |
Directions:
1. Line baking sheets with parchment, Preheat to 350°F.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt and cinnamon.
3. In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat the butter until soft and creamy, then beat in both sugars - beat until smooth. Add eggs and vanilla and mix well.
4. Stirring slowly, or with the mixer on the lowest speed, gradually work in the flour mixture, then the oats. Add the raisins, apricots and walnuts and mix to incorporate - the dough will feel very stiff. (You can make the dough ahead, cover, and refrigerate for several hours.)
5. Drop the dough onto the prepared cookie sheets by the heaping tablespoon, placing the cookies about 2 inches apart. Bake 12 to 16 minutes or until the cookies are golden brown; the longer they bake, the crisper they will be.
