List of Ingredients




1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom or 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
1 egg, slightly beaten
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup apricot nectar or orange juice
1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
2 tablespoons cooking oil
1/2 cup finely snipped dried apricots
1/2 cup sifted powdered sugar
2 to 3 teaspoons apricot nectar or orange juice


Recipe



1. In a medium bowl stir together flour, baking powder, soda, and cardamom; set aside. In another bowl stir together egg, brown sugar, the 1/2 cup apricot nectar or orange juice, applesauce, and oil until combined. Add to flour mixture; stir until combined. Stir in apricots.

2. Spread batter into an ungreased 11x7x1-1/2-inch baking pan. Bake in a 350 degree F oven about 25 minutes or until a wooden toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool in pan on a wire rack.

3. In a small bowl stir together powdered sugar and enough of the 2 to 3 teaspoons apricot nectar or orange juice to make icing that is easy to drizzle. Drizzle icing over cooled cookies. Cut into bars.

Makes 24 servings.
