Dried Blueberry and Apricot Oatmeal Cookies

More COOKIES!!

Hi Poppytalk readers! Long time no see. Sorry for the long break – I had a baby! He’s five weeks old now and he’s as cute as can be. I’ve finally had the urge to bake again so here is a nice and simple cookie recipe that has a bit of an “Autumn” vibe….

I thought about calling this cookie the “fruit and fibre” cookie – dried fruit with both spelt flour and oats! But that had too much of an early 90s old lady prune juice sound to it. Doesn’t Dried Blueberry and Apricot Oatmeal cookies sound a bit fancier?

This cookie is a nice blast of fibrous health in a crisp, salty sweet cookie. But I guess it can’t be construed as too healthy – it does have a cup of unsalted butter in, it too! Oops. The teaspoon of sea salt helps balance the sweetness of the cookie, as the dried fruit makes it extra sweet. You can use any type of dried fruit in these – dried sour cherries would be awesome! And I really enjoy replacing all purpose flour with spelt flour lately. Such a simple swap and a nice secret way to add some fibre to your life…
