This recipe is a favorite of mine to make for special occasions. The apricot cookies freeze beautifully, so they can conveniently be made ahead of time. Substitute peach, strawberry or raspberry jam if you like.

I'm allergic to sesame seeds, so I omitted them from the recipe. The cookies were still delicious!

I had a hard time finding dried apricots, so I used fresh apricots instead. The cookies turned out great!

These cookies were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I would probably reduce the amount of sugar next time.
