Oatmeal Dried Fruit Cookies

SUBMITTED BY: matzahball  PHOTO BY: Debapaka 

"These are the best oatmeal cookies I've ever had! Very buttery and very hearty. Any dried fruit works well such as cherries, raisins, cranberries, blueberries, or chopped apricots. For a really decadent treat, use chocolate chips and nuts instead of fruit."
