• ½ teaspoon nutmeg
• ½ teaspoon cloves
• 3 cups quick cooking oats
• 1 to 2 cups dried fruit chopped

Preparation

Preheat oven to 375.

In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg, and then stir in the vanilla. Sift together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Gradually sir this into the creamy mixture, and finally, stir in the oats and dried fruit. Drop by rounded spoonfuls onto the unprepared cookie sheet. Bake for 8-10 minutes in the oven. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cook completely.
