Ingredients

  • ½ cup dried apricots chopped into ½-inch pieces
  • ½ cup dried cranberries
  • ½ cup dates chopped into ½-inch pieces
  • ½ cup toasted pecans chopped
  • ¾ cup dark chocolate chips
  • ½ cup peanut butter chips natural
  • 1 ¼ cups flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon Kosher salt
  • 2 cups Old Fashioned oats
  • ¾ cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1 ¼ cups brown sugar packed
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees and set the rack to the middle position.
  • Lightly grease a 9-inch cast iron pan with canola oil.
  • Mix the fruit, nuts, chocolate and peanut butter chips together in a bowl and set aside.
  • In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda and salt. Stir in the oats. Set aside.
  • In a mixer, beat the butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. Add eggs and vanilla, scraping down the sides of the bowl as necessary. Add in the flour-oat mixture, and mix well to combine.
  • Add about ⅓ of the fruit, nut and chips mixture and stir well to combine.
  • Place half of the cookie dough into the bottom of a cast iron pan and pat in well to cover the bottom of the pan.
  • Spread remaining ⅔ of the fruit, nut, chips mixture evenly over the layer of dough.
  • Top with remaining half of the cookie dough and gently press (using damp fingers if necessary) dough evenly over to cover filling.
  • Bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until cooked as desired.

Notes

Recipe adapted from White on Rice Couple.
For a chewy cookie, do not overbake.
Feel free to use any combination of fruit and nuts you prefer.
f you have more dough than needed for your pan, form any extra into 1 ½ inch balls and freeze for cookies later.
