Apricot Amaretto Chews image

Chunky and chewy cookies...a delicious mouthful! Almond extract may be used in place of amaretto. In dough use 1/2 tsp almond extract and 2 tsp of water in place of the amaretto. In icing use 1/4 tsp almond extract and enough water to get the correct consistency in place of the amaretto.

I love the idea of these chews, but I'm allergic to apricots. Do you have any suggestions for a substitute?

I followed the recipe exactly, but my chews turned out dry and crumbly. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

These chews are a little too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

I'm not a big fan of apricots, but I really enjoyed these chews. The amaretto flavor really balances out the tartness of the apricots.

These chews are a great way to use up leftover apricots. I always have a few extra apricots in my fridge, so this recipe is perfect for me.

I added a little bit of chopped walnuts to the batter for some extra crunch. They were delicious!

I didn't have any amaretto on hand, so I used almond extract instead. They still turned out great!

I love the combination of apricot and amaretto in these chews. They're the perfect balance of sweet and tart.
