• 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1 cup old fashioned rolled oats
• 1 cup dried fruit

Directions

• Preheat oven to 350 F. Cream butter and sugar, add egg and vanilla, mix
  well. Sift dry ingredients together, add slowly to wet ingredients.
  Stir in oats and fruit.
• Drop cookies by the tablespoon on parchment lined baking sheet. Bake 10-12 minutes. Makes ~30 cookies.

Notes

• not exactly a health food, but you could do worse with a cookie! I make
  these often for Claire (and mommy and daddy too). I switch up the fruit
  between raisins, cherries, cranberries, blueberries,etc.
