List of Ingredients
Makes about 30 cookies
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, finely grated
1 cup sifted all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons water
1 cup apricot preserves
1 cup granulated sugar
Recipe
Beat the butter and cheese until light and fluffy, then blend in the flour and water until just combined. Chill the dough for 4 to 5 hours.
Pre-heat the oven to 375 degrees F. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, heat the preserves and sugar until the mixture boils and is smooth. Set aside to cool. Divide the dough in half. Roll each half into a 10-inch square, cut into 2 1/2-inch squares. Put 1 teaspoon of the preserves in the center of each square, fold over diagonally and seal the edges with the tines of a fork.
Bake on an ungreased baking sheet for 8 to 10 minutes or until edges are lightly browned. Allow to cool for 1 minute then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
Store in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
