Favorite Family Recipes Apricot Sugar Cookies

Have you ever participated in a cookie swap?  Aren’t they fun?  A couple of years ago we did one at our church Christmas party and we loved it.  

Here’s the Recipe:

2 cups dried apricots, chopped (I used one package)
1 pkg sugar cookie mix 
1 stick of butter softened
1 egg
1 teaspoon orange extract

*omit or add any ingredients your cookie mix calls for

Pre-heat oven to 375 and spray a cookie sheet with non-stick cooking spray

Cut apricots into pieces

Cream butter, egg and orange extract with electric mixer

Add cookie mix and stir by hand 

Add apricots and stir until well incorporated

Using hands (well-greased) or cookie scoop, shape dough into balls and place on baking sheet

The cookie balls only need to be place about an inch or so apart, they didn’t spread much

Bake 8-10 minutes, depending on your oven
