These cookies have a great tart and sweet taste. These are not just a Christmas cookie, but they get asked for every year! You can substitute cranberry sauce for apricot preserve, or try doing half apricot and half cranberry, yum!

I'm not a big fan of apricots, but I actually really enjoyed these cookies. The apricots added a nice subtle sweetness and the cookies were perfectly chewy.

These cookies are a great way to use up leftover apricots. I had a bunch of apricots that were starting to go bad, so I decided to make these cookies. They turned out great!

I added a teaspoon of cinnamon to the dough and it gave the cookies a wonderful warm flavor. I highly recommend trying this variation.

I was disappointed with these cookies. The dough was too dry and the cookies turned out crumbly. I think I may have overmixed the dough.

I love the simplicity of these cookies. They're made with just a few basic ingredients, but they're packed with flavor. I especially appreciate that they don't have any nuts in them, since I'm allergic.

These cookies were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still enjoyable. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time I make them.

I'm not usually a fan of apricot cookies, but these were surprisingly delicious! The apricots added a wonderful tartness that balanced out the sweetness of the cookie dough. I'll definitely be adding these to my regular baking rotation.
