Chocolate Apricot Cookies ( BRAZIL)
- 2.5 cups flour
- 1 teaspoon of baking powder
- 1 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 1/2 cup of powdered sugar
- 1 1/2 cups butter or margarine (Soft)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup of almonds
- 1 cup dried apricots (chopped)
- 0,44 lbs chocolate chips
In a large bowl, mix together the powdered sugar, butter, vanilla, almond extract, and egg. Stir in remaining ingredients except dark chocolate chips. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
Take equal sized pieces from the cooled dough with an ice cream scoop and arrange them on a baking tray lined with grease-proof paper at intervals.
Bake in a preheated 352 degree oven for 8 to 10 minutes or until the edges are light golden brown. Take them out of the oven and place them on the wire rack to cool thoroughly.
Melt the chocolate in a bain-marie. Mix until completely melted and dip the cooled cookies halfway into the chocolate and place on wax paper and leave for at least 2 hours for the chocolate to completely set.
Store these cookies, which kids will love, in a tightly closed container at room temperature.
