Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes     Cookie Recipes

Time 50m

Yield Makes 12

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/4 cups rolled oats
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
1/2 cup packed light-brown sugar
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup roughly chopped dried apricots
3/4 cup slivered almonds

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a medium bowl, combine oats, flour, baking powder, and salt; set aside.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer, cream butter and sugars on medium speed until smooth; beat in egg and vanilla. With mixer on low speed, add oat mixture, and mix until just combined. Stir in apricots and almonds by hand.
  • Divide dough into 12 pieces, and roll into balls. Place balls 3 to 4 inches apart on baking sheets. Using your fingers, flatten balls to about a 3/4-inch thickness.
  • Bake cookies until edges begin to brown, 25 to 30 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes on baking sheet, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Tips:

  • Use ripe apricots. This will give your bites the best flavor.
  • If you don't have fresh apricots, you can use dried apricots. Just be sure to soak them in hot water for 10 minutes before using.
  • If you don't have almond flour, you can make your own by grinding almonds in a food processor.
  • Be careful not to overbake the bites. They should be just set in the center.
  • Store the bites in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

These oatmeal apricot almond bites are a delicious and healthy snack that are perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a snack. They are also a great way to use up leftover apricots. Give them a try and enjoy!
