Candied Fruit Oatmeal Cookies
These oatmeal cookies are a delightful way to use up expired candied mixed fruit. The high baking temperature ensures the cookies are thoroughly cooked.
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups rolled oats
- 1 cup expired candied mixed fruit
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
In a separate large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing well after each addition.
Stir in the rolled oats and expired candied mixed fruit until evenly distributed.
Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy these delicious cookies!
