I have had great luck just using the Oatmeal cookie recipe on the Quaker Oats box. I just add chopped figs and nuts. You can add raisins too in the same batch if you want. Just bake as usual. I have found that dried cherries and pecans are excellant! I sometimes use a 1/3 cup ice cream scoop to measure out. I put 6 on a cookie sheet and flatten. One batch usually makes 18 cookies this way. Baking time at 350 is usually between 15 and 20 minutes. Although my oven bakes hot so they are usually done after 11 minutes. Just bake until they are brown around the edges and the center is starting to set. I bake these for my church when they do concessions at auctions. I wrap each cookie individually and they sell for $1 each.
