Ingredients
- 1 egg
- 400 gr all purpose flour
- 400 gr apricots (chopped dried)
- 180 ml molasses
- 220 gr dark brown sugar
- 200 gr confectioners sugar
- 130 gr butter (salted)
- 30 ml milk
- 5 gr baking soda
- 5 gr cinnamon (ground)
- 2 gr ginger (ground)
- 2 gr vanilla extract
- 1 gr salt
- 1 gr allspice
Preheat oven to 300. In a medium bowl, mix together flour, soda, cinnamon, ginger, and allspice. Mix until blended well. In a large mixing bowl, beat sugar and butter at medium speed until mixture forms a grainy paste and scrape sides of bowl. Add molasses and egg and beat until light and fluffy. Add flour mixture and apricots and blend at a low speed just until combined. Do not overmix. Divide dough in half and shape each half into a roll about 4 cm in diameter. Wrap rolls in waxed paper and chill until firm. Slice cookies 1 cm thick and place on ungreased cookie sheets about 5 cm apart. Bake 25-30 minutes until cookies are set. Transfer to cool surface.
Icing: blend sugar, milk, and extract in a small bowl until smooth. Drizzle cookies with icing.
