Ingredients
  • 1¼ cups unbleached all-purpose flour
  • 1½ cups rolled oats (not instant)
  • 1 stick softened butter
  • ½ cup sugar
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons molasses

  • ½ teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1½ teaspoons Chinese Five Spice
  • ⅔ cup chopped unsulfured apricots

Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350*F. Line 2 sturdy baking sheets with parchment or silicone liners.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine flour, oats, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and Chinese Five Spice and stir to combine. In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter, both sugars, molasses and vanilla until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and scrape down the sides of the bowl. Add the flour mixture and blend until just barely incorporated.
  3. Blend in apricots and pecans by hand until distributed throughout.
  4. Drop the dough by heaping tablespoons about 2 inches apart on prepared cookie sheets.
  5. Bake for 16 minutes, rotating the pans halfway through the baking time. Let the cookies set for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool.
