Family Favorite Chewy Apricot Pecan Oatmeal Cookies image

It was my turn to make the fellowship treat for church. Between Sunday School and the morning service we have a short coffee break where we enjoy coffee, juice and some sort of coffee cake etc... I wanted something some what healthy that everyone could easily grab. I had a big container of oatmeal and dried apricots in the pantry and used them as my jumping point. These even make a fantastic breakfast cookie!

These cookies are amazing! I made them for a potluck and they were gone in minutes. Everyone loved them. They're soft, chewy, and full of flavor. The apricots and pecans are a great combination. I'll definitely be making these again.

These cookies were a bit dry for my taste. I think I'll add a little more butter next time. Otherwise, they were good. The apricots and pecans added a nice touch.

These cookies were a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll reduce the amount of sugar next time. Otherwise, they were good. The apricots and pecans added a nice touch.
