This recipe is a favorite of mine to make for special occasions. The apricot cookies freeze beautifully, so they can conveniently be made ahead of time. Substitute peach, strawberry or raspberry jam if you like.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my cookies turned out flat and crispy. They didn't taste very good either.

The cookies were a bit dry. I think I would add an extra egg yolk next time.

These cookies are a bit too sweet for my taste. I would reduce the amount of sugar next time.

These cookies are a great way to use up leftover apricots. They are also a nice change from the usual chocolate chip cookie.
