Tips:

  • Use ripe apricots. This will give your cookies the best flavor and texture. If you don't have ripe apricots, you can use dried apricots, but be sure to soak them in hot water for 15 minutes before using.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough. Mix the dough just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set. Overbaking will make the cookies dry and crumbly. The cookies should be slightly soft in the center when you take them out of the oven.

Conclusion:

These low-fat oatmeal apricot cookies are a delicious and healthy snack or breakfast option. They are made with whole wheat flour, oats, and dried apricots, and are low in fat and calories. The cookies are also a good source of fiber and iron. Whether you are looking for a healthy snack or a nutritious breakfast, these cookies are a great choice.
