Delicious apricots make for a wonderful pastry type cookie. Still available in many parts of the country freshly from the orchard, but if not, preserved or frozen apricots work well too. Light in flavor, slightly sweet, a little tart, wrapped up in a flaky cookie pastry. What could be bad? The fact that you didn't make enough? Lol!
