Apricot Oatmeal Cookies

2 1/2 C quick-cooking rolled oats
1 C chopped walnuts or pecans
1 1/2 C brown sugar
2/3 C soy margarine
1 tsp vanilla
2 T cornstarch
1 T water
1 C unbleached flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1 C dried apricots, finely diced

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. In large mixing bowl, combine brown sugar, margarine, vanilla, and water. Mix well, then add the rest of the ingredients.

Drop by rounded tablespoons onto an ungreased cookie sheet, placing them about 2 inches apart.

Bake for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown. Cool slightly, then remove from the cookie sheet.

These are delicious!!!! They are soft and chewy and oh so good! We even substituted cranberries in half of them and that was good too.
