Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large bowl, beat the unsalted butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar together using a hand or stand mixer until creamy and smooth, about 2-3 minutes.

Add the egg and pure vanilla extract to the bowl, and beat until fully combined.
Step 4
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just incorporated.
Step 6
Stir in the rolled oats, dried cranberries, raisins, and chopped dried apricots using a spatula or spoon.
Step 7
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown but the centers are still soft.
Step 9
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Enjoy your fruity oatmeal cookies fresh, or store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
