These are the best oatmeal cookies I’ve ever had! Very buttery and very hearty. Any dried fruit works well such as cherries, raisins, cranberries, blueberries, or chopped apricots. For a really decadent treat, use chocolate chips and nuts instead of fruit.

- 1 ¼ cups butter or margarine, softened
- 1 ¼ cups brown sugar
- 1 egg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
