Absinthe's Kitchen

Ingredients:

1.5 cups packed brown sugar
1 cup soft margarine or butter
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 medium eggs
2 cups quick oats
1.5 cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1.5 cups mixed nuts
1.5 cups chocolate chips
2 cups dried berries

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 F (190 C).

In large bowl stir brown sugar and butter until well blended.

Stir in vanilla, cinnamon and eggs until light and fluffy.

Add oats, flour, baking soda and salt and mix until well blended.

Add chocolate chips, nuts and dried fruit.

Drop dough (tablespoonsize) on ungreased cookie sheet - about 2" apart. I just put some parchment paper on a cookie sheet to make clean up easy.

Bake ~ 9 - 11 minutes or until edges turn golden brown.

Leave on cookie sheet for a minute or two. Move to cookie rack to cool completely.

These are delicious when still slightly warm. Cookies will stay slightly soft.

Enjoy.

Note: It is up to you what mix of dried fruit, nuts and chocolate chips you use. Mix and match whatever you have in your kitchen: Raisins, dried berries, milk chocolate chips, semi sweet etc, walnuts, pecans, almonds, hazelnuts... Find your own mix or work with what you have. :)
