AMARETTO APRICOT COOKIES
This makes a very healthy tasting, chewy cookie....it isn't a crisp cookie. I had it on a Christmas Cookie Exchange this year, and really enjoyed it! Originally authored by Brenda Bragg from Ohio. Cook time is actually 8 minutes per cookie sheet, I just increased the cooking time to accomodate multiple cookie sheetfuls!

Steps:
- In a large bowl, beat the butter, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Beat in the egg. Stir in the flour until just blended. Mix in the apricots, almonds, and pine nuts. Transfer the dough to a sheet of plastic wrap and shape into a log, about 12-inches long and 1 1/2-inches in diameter. Wrap the dough in the plastic and refrigerate for 2 hours. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line 2 heavy baking sheets with parchment paper. Cut the dough log crosswise into 1/4 to 1/2 inch-thick slices. Transfer the cookies to the prepared baking sheets, spacing evenly apart. Bake until the cookies are golden around the edges, about 15 minutes. Transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely before icing. Place the confectioners' sugar in a medium mixing bowl. Gradually whisk in the almond flavored liqueur until the mixture is of drizzling consistency. Place the wire rack over a baking sheet. Using a spoon or fork, drizzle the cookies with the icing, allowing any excess icing to drip onto the baking sheet. Allow the icing to set before serving, about 30 minutes.

Steps:
- ~ Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Sift flour with baking soda. In a bowl, beat butter and sugar until fluffy. Add egg and 1 tablespoon of Amaretto. Add flour mixture, beat in oats, apricots, and almonds. Drop by rounded tablespoons onto greased baking sheet for 10 minutes or until golden. Cool for 1 minute then remove. Stir together icing sugar and enough Amaretto to make drizzling consistency. Drizzle over cooled cookies.
Tips:
- Toast the Apricot Jam: Heating the jam intensifies its flavor and makes it easier to spread.
- Use Softened Butter: This will make the cookies chewier and less crumbly.
- Chill the Dough: This helps the cookies hold their shape and prevents them from spreading too much.
- Don't Overmix the Dough: Overmixing will result in tough cookies.
- Bake the Cookies Until They Are Just Set: Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly.
- Let the Cookies Cool Completely: This will allow them to firm up and develop their full flavor.
Conclusion:
These Amaretto Apricot Cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. They are soft and chewy with a sweet and tangy apricot filling. The Amaretto adds a subtle almond flavor that complements the apricots perfectly. These cookies are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them!
