Oatmeal Dried Fruit Cookies

We live in Colorado at approx 7000 feet in elevation. Knowing this I should have added a little bit more flour or adjusted the butter. Either way they turned out yummy. I’ll try this again with the adjustments.

Please don’t jump on a person for posting a bad review. This is baking, not politics and sometimes a bad review can be helpful. Keeping this in mind I soaked my dried berries in hot water for a half an hour before adding them . The cookies were chewy and moist and delicious

These were perfect, very moist and flavorful. Followed the recipe to a ‘t’, using sweetened fruit/fruit cake mix. Just like my mom used to make.

LOVED them. Not dry in the least….I used golden berries only because I needed to use some up but they were spot on!

Family loved it and not overly sweet. My adjustments were using just under 1 c butter but added 1/2 low fat yogurt for more moisture. Used only 1 c brown sugar but also added one cup chocolate chips with 1/2 dried persimmon and 1/2 dried apples. Only used 2.5 c oatmeal (since I ran out). Even when I forgot about the time and way overcooked the last batch , it still come out okay.

This is an awesome recipe! I did however substitute Clove for the cinnamon. Thank you!

I used mixed dried fruit and added pecans and these were very good. I will make them again soon.

It was perfect as is!!! I blended the egg with the butter and brown sugar with a hand mixer until I saw no more eggs. It makes for easier mixing with the flour mixture. Yummy recipe thank you very much!!

Breakfast in a cookie! Chewy, fruity, and moist. Two cookies and a glass of milk will be a great breakfast on the go. I doubled the dried fruit and added 1/2 cup of chopped nuts. Appreciated the powerful kitchenaid mixer to mix this thick dough.

This recipe is wonderful! Mine came out perfectly moist and delicious and the dough was not at all hard to work with.

Very, very good. Used a dried fruit mix from the wharehouse big box store, added some dried cherries and some dried cranberries that I had in my pantry just waiting to be used up. Also mixed half brown/ white sugars and baked for 10 min. I will definitely make them again. Further I think they are a good packable cookie suitable for mailing. While baking the whole house smells great!

I was given some pomegranate-flavored and some blueberry-flavored Craisins and thought I’d use them in this recipe. I thought they were delicious (pomegranate was my favorite, but both were good). I did not have any trouble with the dough being too dry; I wonder if other reviewers who had this problem may not have used the correct amount of butter/margarine. I ended up with 5 dozen 2″ cookies per batch, and they were nice and moist after 8 min in the oven. They came off the pan beautifully. The only problem I had was that I smashed them together a little and made a bit of a mess with them when I stored them.

I had some dried cherries to get rid of and this oatmeal cookie recipe was just the ticket. I realized that our home did not have any cookies to leave for Santa and I could not let that happen. Ho! Ho! Ho! Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow. This is one moist, tasty, cookie recipe.

I made these because I had bought something on this order and my 5 yr old daughter LOVED them. I used 3/4 cup dried cranberries and 1 cup chopped walnuts. they are wonderful! my daughter gave them ‘2 thumbs up’

Wonderful cookies that have gone down very well (considering I’ve made them 3 times now!) with friends and family. The only changes I made was to leave the salt out, as used salted butter, and used half brown sugar and half white sugar, if your looking for a bit of crunch to your cookie this will do the trick. Thanks so much for shairing this!!

This recipe was the best oatmeal cookie I have ever made! I used the food processor for the 1st part! I used cranberies, a few chocolate chips & a little coconut! Yum! The batter was easy to scoop by the teaspoon !

Best oatmeal cookies ever! Used a dried berry mix sample from nutsonline.com that had strawberries, blacberries & blueberries. Added dried apples, dates and raisins to complete the 1 cup called for. Added dry ingredients very slowly & mixed thoroughly. The dough was perfect!! This one will become a new favorite.

This is a lovely easy recipe. I used a dried fruit and nut mixture that I had in the pantry and it turned out really well. The mixture was a little dry – it couldn’t be “dropped” onto the tray, it had to be rolled into little balls by hand. The finished cookies were tasty, although perhaps I should have flattened them out a little before baking. See the picture above to see what I mean. I recommend these cookies as I think they would be deliciious with other additions as already mentioned in other reviews, such as chocolate chips.

I absolutely loved this recipe!!! I substituted the cup of dried cranberries with dried blueberries and mixed fruit and added a quarter cup of sour cream. This is one of the best cookies I have ever eaten, and my whole family agrees!!! Thanks!

This is the best oatmeal cookie I’ve ever eaten – no contest! I used a dried berry mix (cherries, blueberries & raspberries) for the fruit, and was generous with the spices. Otherwise, exact quantities. I did not find the batter dry at all – I used a Kenmore stand mixer and was careful to add everything in slowly and mixed extensively. The butter was softened too, which may be the key. These cookies, fresh out of the oven, are unbelievably good – just the right amount of salt, chewy but not gluey, melt in your mouth. The only real change was that mine had to bake for an extra 5 minutes or so (15 total), but keep a close eye – these would not be nice over-done!

I didnt find them dry at all. Very stick when rolling out, but led to a very moist tastey cookie. Will make again.
