I'm not sure what I did wrong, but these cookies turned out really dry. I had to drink a glass of milk with each one.

These cookies are a bit too crumbly for my taste. I had to eat them with a fork.

The cookies didn't turn out as golden brown as I expected. They were more like a light brown.

I had trouble getting the cookies to spread out in the oven. They ended up being more like balls than cookies.

I'm not a huge fan of apricots, but these cookies were surprisingly good. The apricot flavor is subtle and not overpowering.

These cookies are so easy to make, even my kids can help. They're also a great way to use up leftover apricot jam.
