Apricot Filled Cookies image

This recipe came from a little pamphlet with cookie recipes that a neighbor gave to me when I was about 12. My family always has this at Christmas, along with the Russian Tea Cookies and Frittula. It's an old recipe calling for shortening, and that's the way we still make it. The recipe calls for making your own apricot filling, but when time is short you can substitute prepared apricot preserves.

These cookies were a bit dry for my taste, but I think that's just because I overbaked them. Next time I'll try baking them for a shorter amount of time.
