How to Make Family Favorite Chewy Apricot Pecan Oatmeal Cookies
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon. Stir in 2 cups rolled oats.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, 1/2 cup vegetable shortening, 1/4 cup water, 1 cup packed light brown sugar, and 1/2 cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1/4 cup honey and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in two additions, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Stir in 1 cup chopped dried apricots and 1 cup chopped pecans.
- Drop by rounded tablespoons onto prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
- Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are still slightly soft.
- Let cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
