Ingredients

• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 1.5 cups Rolled oats
• 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, softened
• 0.5 cup Light brown sugar, packed
• 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.75 cup Dried apricots, chopped
• 0.5 cup Shelled pistachios, roughly chopped

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, rolled oats, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, use a hand or stand mixer to cream the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, and beat until fully incorporated.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 6

Fold in the chopped dried apricots and pistachios using a spatula or wooden spoon.

Step 7

Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 8

Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are golden brown and the centers look slightly underbaked.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
