Oatmeal Apricot Cookies

Oatmeal Apricot Cookies is a fun twist on classic oatmeal raisin cookies. They are soft and chewy, with a hint of cinnamon, and made with dried apricots. Oatmeal cookies are perfect to enjoy on their own, or with a cup of tea or coffee. This recipe for Oatmeal Apricot Cookies makes enough for a bakers dozen, so you can get about 13-14 cookies out of the batch of dough. I love baking a dozen cookies in the oven, and freezing the extra dough in individual balls . That way, if I get a craving for cookies later on, I can bake just one or two at a time in the toaster oven.

I was inspired by a pantry full of apricots, and the oatmeal raisin recipe that is included in my free recipe ebook. Download my free recipe ebook pdf for more delicious vegan cookie recipes like this one.

How to Make Vegan Oatmeal Apricot Cookies:

In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Stir in the oats. Add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and mix until a smooth dough forms. Add the diced dried apricots and mix until they are evenly distributed through the dough. Roll the dough into 1 1/2″ balls, and place them evenly spaced on a parchment lined baking sheet. Bake at 350F for 11-13 minutes. Let cool and enjoy!
