Directions
-
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or use silicone baking mats.
-
In a medium bowl, stir together the oats, flour, baking powder, salt, and pumpkin pie spice.
-
Add the applesauce, dried apricots, maple syrup, butter, and oil to a blender. Cover and blend until well combined. Add the egg and vanilla extract and blend until puréed like a smoothie. Pour the batter into the dry mixture in the medium bowl and stir until well combined. Note: The batter will seem slightly loose (runny).
-
Drop 7 cookies on each baking sheet, about 2 well-rounded measuring tablespoons each. Bake until browned on the bottom, about 25 minutes.
-
Remove cookies from the oven and let cool completely on the baking sheets on racks. Store the soft-chew cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 1 month.
