These are my favorite cookie to make for Christmas. Ingredients:
base |
1 cup flour |
1/2 cup butter, cut into pieces |
6 tablespoons cream cheese |
filling |
3/4 brown sugar |
1 egg, slightly beaten |
1 tablespoon soft butter |
1/2 teaspoon vanilla |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
2/3 cup dried apricots, diced |
1/3 cup chopped almonds (i chop slivered almonds) |
Directions:
1. For base: Combine ingredients in food processor until mixture forms a ball. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill while making filling, about 15 minutes.
2. For filling: Combine brown sugar, egg, butter, vanilla, and salt. Stir in apricots and almonds.
3. Preheat oven to 325.
4. Shape dough into 24 1 inch balls. Place balls into lightly greased or paper lined mini muffin cups. Press dough on bottom and up side of each cup. Fill each with 1 teaspoon of filling. Bake 25 minutes or until golden and filling is set. Cool and remove from cups.
5. This recipe doubles beautifully.
