Yield 4 dozen, 48 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 1/2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
1 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly
1 cup light brown sugar, firmly packed
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 cups old fashioned oats (not instant)
1 cup dried apricot, cut into raisin-size pieces
1 cup unsalted pistachio nuts, chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Combine flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and cloves in a medium-size bowl; set aside.
  • Combine the butter and sugars in a large mixing bowl and beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until well blended.
  • Add the eggs and vanilla and beat until smooth.
  • Beat in the flour mixture until just combined and stir in oats, apricots and pistachios.
  • Cover and leave bowl in the refrigerator for 10 minutes (or up to 6 hours) to let the dough firm up.
  • Drop the dough by heaping tablespoonfuls onto ungreased baking sheets, leaving about 3 inches between each cookie.
  • Bake cookies until they're golden around the edges but still soft on top, about 15-17 minutes.
  • Let them stand on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them with a metal spatula to a wire rack to cool completely.
