Apricot Cranberry Oatmeal Spiced Cookies-1

When I first started testing this recipe, I wanted it to convey two things: to be reminiscent of the cookie I had while in the airport on the way to my honeymoon, and to be hearty enough to resemble a breakfast cookie. And dang, I think I nailed both! This cookie is filled with chunks of cranberries and soft, chewy apricots in every bite. Not to mention it has a nice, subtle spiced flavor that screams fall. I just love this new cookie because it reminds me of all the good things!

Recipe Features:

Paleo (grain-free and dairy-free)
Nice and hearty from the oats
Loaded with delicious apricots and cranberries
Includes a lot of good for you ingredients

Ingredient Notes For These Apricot Cranberry Oatmeal Cookies:

Eggs & Butter – Make sure both are at room temperature.
- Eggs: Add them to a bowl of warm water and let them sit until they reach room temperature.
Oats – I love Bob’s Red Mill® products. So, for these cookies, I use and recommend old fashioned gluten-free whole grain oats. They give the cookies that great chewy and hearty texture.
Pumpkin Pie Spice – Even if you don’t like pumpkin, you can’t taste pumpkin per say. The spice just adds such warmth and “coziness” to the cookies. It gives it that delicious fall flavor!
FYI: These cookies (baked and unbaked) are freezer-friendly up to three months. (If you bake from frozen, just bake the frozen dough balls for an extra minute. There is no need to thaw first).
