Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Using the tip of a teaspoon place a small drop of apricot preserves into the middle of the circle. Brush edges with water and fold the dough over so that the cookie is in the shape of a half moon, seal edges Arrange on ungreased cookie sheets.

Recipe Note

These cookies have a great tart and sweet taste. These are not just a Christmas cookie, but they get asked for every year! You can substitute cranberry sauce for apricot preserve, or try doing half apricot and half cranberry, yum!
