Oatmeal Cookies With Apricots And Pistachios Recipes

Steps:

• Put oven racks in upper and lower thirds of oven and preheat oven to 350°F. Butter 2 baking sheets.
• Beat together butter and sugars in a large bowl with an electric mixer at medium-high speed until fluffy, then beat in vanilla. Add egg and beat until combined well. Stir together flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon in a small bowl, then add to dough and mix at low speed until just combined. Fold in oats, apricots, and pistachios.
• Spoon rounded tablespoons of dough about 2 inches apart onto baking sheets. Bake cookies, switching position of sheets halfway through baking, until golden brown, 16 to 18 minutes. Transfer cookies with a spatula to racks. (Cookies will crisp as they cool.)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Combine flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and cloves in a medium-size bowl; set aside.
• Combine the butter and sugars in a large mixing bowl and beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until well blended.
• Add the eggs and vanilla and beat until smooth.
• Beat in the flour mixture until just combined and stir in oats, apricots and pistachios.
• Cover and leave bowl in the refrigerator for 10 minutes (or up to 6 hours) to let the dough firm up.
• Drop the dough by heaping tablespoonfuls onto ungreased baking sheets, leaving about 3 inches between each cookie.
• Bake cookies until they're golden around the edges but still soft on top, about 15-17 minutes.
• Let them stand on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them with a metal spatula to a wire rack to cool completely.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C)
• In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg, then stir in the vanilla. Sift together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg, gradually stir into the creamed mixture. Finally, stir in the quick oats and dried fruit. Drop by rounded spoonfuls onto the unprepared cookie sheet.
• Bake for 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375°F. In large bowl, beat all ingredients except oats, flour, apricots and pecans with electric mixer on medium speed until creamy, or mix with spoon. Stir in all remaining ingredients.
