The recipe for these rich, buttery cookies originally called for dates. Apricots have long been my favorite fruit, so using them as a substitute seemed natural. -Bonnie Waliezer, Brush Prairie, Washington

[email protected]I had some trouble getting the dough to the right consistency. It was too sticky at first, but then I added some more flour and it was too dry. I finally got it right, but it took a few tries.
