How to Make Healthy Hermits
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease baking sheets.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened margarine and ¾ cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in 2 large eggs until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 ½ cups rolled oats, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg, ½ teaspoon ground cloves, and ½ teaspoon baking soda.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Stir in 1 cup chopped apple, 1 cup dried apricots or raisins (or a combination), ½ cup chopped nuts (optional), and 2 tablespoons milk powder. Mix until everything is well incorporated.
- Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie. Gently flatten each cookie with a fork or your fingers.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Keep a close eye on them as ovens vary.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy!
