Ingredients
-
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
-
1 cup white sugar
-
3 cups all-purpose flour
-
1 large egg
-
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
-
1 teaspoon baking powder
-
½ teaspoon salt
-
1 cup apricot preserves
-
⅓ cup confectioners' sugar for decoration
Directions
-
Cream butter and sugar in a medium mixing bowl. Mix in flour, egg, vanilla, baking powder, and salt until incorporated. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.
-
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
-
Roll dough on a lightly floured surface to a thickness of 1/4 inch. Cut dough into circles with a round cookie cutter or glass. Using the tip of a teaspoon, place a small drop of apricot preserves into the middle of each circle. Brush the edges with water and fold the dough in half into a half-moon shape. Press to seal the edges. Arrange cookies on ungreased cookie sheets.
-
Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 8 to 12 minutes. Remove from the oven and transfer to wire racks to cool. Dust hot cookies with powdered sugar.
Tips
You can substitute cranberry sauce for the apricot preserves, or try doing half of each!
