Apricot and Nut Cookies with Amaretto Icing
Ingredients
For the cookies:
½ cup unsalted butter room temperature
½ cup sugar plus 2 tblsp
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon fine sea salt
1 large egg
1¼ cups all-purpose flour
½ cup dried apricots coarsely chopped
¼ cup slivered almonds toasted
2 tablespoons pine nuts toasted
For the icing:
1¾ cups confectioner's sugar
6 tablespoons amaretto
Directions
Cookies
In a large bowl, beat the butter, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, and
salt with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Beat in the egg. Stir in the flour until
just blended. Mix in the apricots, almonds, and pine nuts.
Transfer the dough to a sheet of plastic wrap and shape into a log, about 12 inches long and 1-1/2 inches in diameter. Wrap the dough in the plastic and refrigerate for 2 hours.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 heavy baking sheets with parchment paper.
Cut the dough log crosswise into 1/4 to 1/2 inch-thick slices. Transfer the cookies to the prepared baking sheets, spacing evenly apart. Bake until the cookies are golden around the edges, about 15 minutes. Transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely before icing.

Icing
Place the confectioners' sugar in a medium mixing bowl.
Gradually whisk in the almond flavored liqueur, until the mixture is of drizzling consistency.
Place the wire rack over a baking sheet. Using a spoon or fork, drizzle the cookies with the icing, allowing any excess icing to drip onto the baking sheet. Allow the icing to set before serving, about 30 minutes.
