Prunes draw out the natural sweetness in these apricot-almond cookies, a sophisticated take on classic dried fruit-and-nut cookies.

Instructions

    Preheat the oven to 350F [180C]. Line 2 rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper.

    In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, oats, baking soda, and salt.

    In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter and sugars on medium speed until fluffy, about 3 minute. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well between additions, then mix in the vanilla and almond extracts.

    On low speed, gradually add the flour. Fold in the dried fruit and almonds and mix briefly until combined.

    Drop rounded tablespoons of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing the cookies about 2 inches apart. Bake until the edges are brown and the tops are set, about 12 minutes. Transfer the cookies to cooling racks and cool completely. Repeat with the remaining dough.
