Ingredients:

75g butter, softened

75g light brown sugar

1 egg, beaten

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

125g plain flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

100g rolled oats

50g dried apricots, chopped

Cooking Instructions:

Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F/Gas Mark

Line a baking tray with parchment paper.

In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until combined.

In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder and cinnamon. Add this to the creamed mixture along with the oats and apricots and mix until everything is combined.

Using your hands or a spoon, form small balls of dough (about 2 tablespoons each) and place them on the prepared baking tray about 5cm apart. Flatten each ball slightly with your fingers or a fork to form discs about 1cm thick.

Bake in preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown around the edges. Allow to cool on the tray for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
