How to Make Apricot Cookies Like A Professional

You’re going to need some supplies for this cookie escapade. Here’s what you’ll need to whip up these apricot wonders:

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup butter, softened
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup apricot preserves
  • Powdered sugar for dusting (because we fancy like that)

Now that you have your ingredients lined up like soldiers, it’s time to get down to business. Follow these easy peasy steps, and you’ll be a cookie-making superstar:

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (or 175°C, if you’re feeling international).
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until it’s light and fluffy. If it doesn’t feel like a cloud, keep mixing!
  3. Add the egg and vanilla extract, and mix it all up until it’s well blended. Don’t worry, no one’s judging your mixing skills.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, and stir until just combined. Don’t go overboard; we’re making cookies, not a fitness regime!
  5. Scoop out a tablespoon of dough and flatten it out in your hand. Place about a teaspoon of apricot preserves right in the center. Fold the dough over to cover the filling and roll it into a ball. Place on an ungreased baking sheet.
  6. Once you’ve got all your cookies formed and ready to rock, bake them in the preheated oven for around 12-15 minutes or until they’re just golden brown at the edges. Your kitchen will soon start to smell like a dream come true.
  7. Let the cookies cool on a wire rack for a few minutes before dusting them with powdered sugar. Ta-da! You did it!

Now go ahead and devour these apricot-filled delights with friends, family, or even in secret—no judgment here! You’ve earned this deliciousness!
