And it is nice to know which recipes y'all like because I don't dare try many new recipes. But Amy has a life other than blogging unlike some of us (cough - sputter!), but I wanted to give her credit for discovering these cookies.
And of course, be sure to go see all of Pioneer Woman's photos of the preparation because that's the best part of it all.
Hyacinth’s Everything Cookies1 1/2 cups butter
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 cups brown sugar
4 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla
4 1/4 cups flour
4 teaspoons baking soda
1 1/3 cups quick oats
1 teaspoon salt
3 cups Quaker Granola (oats & honey, yellow box)
1 1/2 cups chopped pecans
1 1/2 cups Cran-raisins
1 1/2 cups apricots
Cream butter and sugars. Add egg and vanilla. Next add flour, baking soda, and salt. Add in oatmeal and granola. Fold in pecans and other ingredients. With cookie scoop or two spoons, drop onto cookie sheet and bake at 375 for 10 minutes.
Now don't do what I did and accidentally add twice the salt than required (I halved the recipe but got confused on the salt). If you have low blood pressure come on over and I'll take care of that with just one or two cookies.
Plus, after I added too much salt, for some reason I felt that adding an extra egg would help. huh? I kept thinking it was going to be too dry. Duh... not my best move. My brain seriously freezes when I cook. What's up with that. So, if you need some more cholesterol come and eat my cookies.
And make sure you actually have more than 1/4 cup oats before you start.
I'm certain Amy didn't have that many foul-ups as she and I came from different breeds when it comes to cooking.
But in the end, the taste was scrumptious and i loved the dried fruit. So ignore everything I did wrong and go make some healthy cookies.

Well, I'm sorry you had such a hard time with these, Heath! My hard time came from needing 3 trips to the store before I got all the ingredients (which I will now try to keep on hand since I love these cookies!). My family is completely baffled because they do not have, nor will I add chocolate to them. Thanks for posting these. They are amazing!
Just found your site. The name of it sounds like how my mom cooks... a little of this and some of that. :)
I'm gonna browse around more, but I loved what I saw so far! I saw these cookies on PW's site too and thought of making them. They sound great! Planning ahead and paying attention aren't 2 of my strong points, so I'll try to make a point to check for ingredients and watch out if I'm halving the recipe! :) You have no idea how often I mess up like that!!!
