Amaretto Apricot Chews

Makes about 36 cookies

Almonds and extract, not almond liqueur, flavor these cookies. Use plump, pliable apricots to help the cookies stay moist and chewy. Adapted from "The Red Hat Society Cookbook" (Rutledge Hill Press, 2006). Store the glazed cookies in an airtight container for up to 10 days.

For the chews:

8 ounces (2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature

1/2 cup sugar

3/4 cup packed light brown sugar

1 egg

1 cup flour

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon almond extract
