    These Apricot Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies are really addictive. Every time I make them for school, neighbors, and my husband’s co-workers, I always get so many compliments.

    They are healthy and not too sugary. The old-fashioned rolled oats give them a nice texture and the dark chocolate more “gourmandise”! These soft and chewy cookies are favorites in our family.

    People who have tasted them have a hard time identifying the little orange dried fruit that is inside. Apparently, they are not familiar with apricots, but everyone enjoys the little tangy-sweet taste of my Apricot Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies.


    Trust me it is hard to resist not eating more after the first one… You have been warned!

    Ingredients
      

    • ½ cup butter softened
    • ½ cup brown sugar packed
    • ½ cup white sugar
    • 1 egg
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • 1 cup all purpose flour
    • ½ teaspoon baking soda
    • ¼ teaspoon salt
    • 1 ¼ cup old-fashionned rolled oats
    • ½ cup dried apricots chopped in 4
    • ½ cup bittersweet chocolate chips

    Instructions
     

    • Preheat oven to 350 F.
    • With a hand mixer or a stand mixer using a paddle attachment, cream the butter and the two sugars until smooth.
    • Add the egg and vanilla extract until combined.
    • In another bowl, whisk the flour, baking soda, and salt.
    • On low, mix the dry ingredients into the wet until combined.
    • Add the rolled oats, apricots, and chocolate chips. The dough will be thick and sticky.
    • On a cookie sheet place parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Add one tablespoon of dough at a time using a cookie scoop (recommended) or two tablespoons. Leave enough space between them so they can spread nicely.
    • Bake in the oven for 8 to 10 minutes until lightly golden on the edges but still soft in the center.
    • Remove the baking sheet from the oven with gloves. Let cool before putting them on a wire rack. They will quickly harden.
    • Repeat with the remaining dough. You can reuse the same sheet of parchment paper each time.

    Notes

    Adapted from Closet Cooking.
    Storage: keep cookies for 2-3 days in an airtight container at room temperature or freeze them for up to six months.
