Instead of old-fashioned oatmeal raisin, swap in apricots and white chocolate. The white chocolate's sweetness tempers the tang of the fruit, creating a balanced batch that will appeal to kids and adults alike.

    I used ajmary’s suggestion for macadamia nuts. They were a great addition to the dried apricots I got from Bella Viva Orchards.

    I've been making this cookie since it first appeared in your magazine several years ago. My family has dubbed it "the world's best cookie"!

    I'm never impressed with a drop cookie, but this recipe is fantastic! I added cranberries and pinenuts to it, but I'm sure these cookies would be great if you stuck with the original recipe. So good, and will be a continued cookie on my Christmas cookie list.

    I made these recently after seeing a photo on Pinterest, and although it was a combination I wouldn't have thought of, they were great! I brought some to work and also gave some to friends, and they all enjoyed them.

    Love this cookie! I have made it using dried cranberries or cherries, definitely keep the chocolate but mixed half the white with dark chocolate chips. Finally, added chopped walnuts or pecans. I use whole wheat, unbleached flour as well. Yum!

    I doubled the dried apricots and used macadamia nuts and semi-sweet chocolate chips. Very good and did not last long at all.

    I only needed to bake the cookies for 11 minutes before the edges started darkening so I took them out and they were crisp on the exterior and chewy inside. Still, there's something missing from the flavor . I really didn't taste the apricots and thought the white chocolate completely overpowered its tartness. But, of course, everyone loves homemade oatmeal cookies and they were a hit with the kids.

    These are great with apricots or dried cranberry. Would like to try them with macadamia nuts as well.

    I made them with rasins instead, and they were terrific. They were all gone by the next day. Have now make them again and hid some so I might have atleast one from this batch
