Amaretto Apricot Chews Cookie Recipe
"A wonderfully soft and chewy oatmeal cookie with a subtle almond flavor and chunks of dried apricots and chopped almonds. The icing is made with Amaretto and confectioners sugar so it has a bit of an adult kick. Mix the ingredients together and drop dough by rounded teaspoons onto an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes or till golden brown in a 375° oven. The cookies are really easy to make and the recipe makes about 80 small cookies, so it’s perfect when you’re making lots of gifts."
NotesUse a teaspoon cookie scoop to drop the dough from this recipe and you’ll make about 80 cookies!
If desired, omit amaretto. In dough, substitute ½ teaspoon almond extract and 2 teaspoons water. In icing, substitute ¼ teaspoon almond extract and 2 to 4 tablespoons of water.
