How to Make Apricot Oatmeal Cookies Vegan

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together 1 cup packed brown sugar and 1 cup vegan margarine until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and 2 tablespoons water until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, combine 2 cups rolled oats, 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon, ¼ teaspoon salt, and 1 cup chopped walnuts (or pecans).
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Stir in 1 cup chopped dried apricots.
  7. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
  8. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown. Keep a close eye on them as ovens vary.
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
