1/2 C. sugar
1/2 C. softened butter
1 egg
1/2 tsp. almond extract
1 1/2 C. all purpose flour
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/8 tsp. salt
1/4 C. firmly packed dried apricots, (6 whole, or 12 half apricots)
1 Tbsp. honey


Recipe



In a medium bowl, mix together; butter and sugar with an electric mixer till blended. Beat in egg and almond extract until light and fluffy. Mix flour, baking powder and salt, and add, beating at low speed until dough is smooth, scraping down sides of bowl with rubber spatula. Wrap and refrigerate 2-3 hours, till firm.

Chop the apricots and mix with the honey; set at room temperature until the dough has chilled.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Between pieces of waxed paper, roll dough to 1/8th inch thickness. Cut out cookies with 2 inch round cutters. Re-roll scraps to make additional cookies.

Place 1/2 of the cookies 2 inches apart on lightly greased cookie sheets. Spoon 1/2 tsp. apricot filling onto the center of the cookies. Moisten the edges and top with remaining cookies to make a sandwich. Press edges together with fingertips to seal. Pierce center of each pillow with a fork.

Bake 10-12 minutes until the edges are golden.

Let cookies cool 2 minutes on sheets then remove to racks to cool.

Store tightly covered.
