APRICOT OATMEAL COOKIES (VEGAN)



Apricot Oatmeal Cookies (Vegan) image

I hear these are soft and chewy and delicious, and I can't wait to try them! Recipe by Brenda Walsh on the show Cooking with the Micheff Sisters on their Holiday Cooking Swap episode. Keep fresh by storing in an air-tight plastic container. For variety, try adding raisins, dried cranberries, or dried prunes. You can also substitute pecans for the walnuts, or use other nuts as you like. She didn't specify the amount of cookies it makes so I did an estimation based on some of my own cookie recipes, so let me know if it's off. Enjoy!
