                                                3 cups all-purpose flour  |  
                                                1 cup butter, softened  |

                                                1/8 teaspoon salt  |  
                                                1 large egg  |  
                                                2 cups sour cream  |  
                                                1 1/2 cups powdered sugar  |  
                                                1 cup chopped pecans, toasted  |  
                                                1 teaspoon vanilla extract  |  
                                                1 (8-ounce) jar apricot preserves  |  
                                                powdered sugar (optional)  |  
                                                whipped cream (optional)  |  
                                                
                     
                    Directions: 
                    
                        
                            
                                1. Pulse flour and next 3 ingredients in a food processor 7 or 8 times or until mixture is crumbly. Add egg, and pulse 4 or 5 times until dough forms. Divide dough into 7 equal portions, shaping each portion into a ball. 2. Roll each ball to a 9-inch circle on inverted greased 9-inch cakepans covered with parchment paper. 3. Bake, in batches, at 350° for 10 to 12 minutes or until golden. Cool on pans. 4. Beat sour cream and next 3 ingredients at medium speed with an electric mixer until combined; chill. 5. Process preserves in a food processor until smooth. 6. Spread 6 cookie layers alternately with about 3 tablespoons sour cream mixture and 3 tablespoons apricot preserves; stack. Top with remaining cookie layer; chill 8 hours. Sprinkle top with powdered sugar, if desired; pipe whipped cream around outer edge, if desired.                              |
