Tips:

  • Use old-fashioned oats for a chewier cookie.
  • Soak the dried cranberries and apricots in hot water for 10 minutes before adding them to the dough. This will help them to plump up and soften.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will result in tough cookies.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies to hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set. Overbaking will result in dry, crumbly cookies.
