1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon lemon juice

1 tablespoon butter

Directions

APRICOT FILLING: Cook apricots in water until almost tender, stirring occasionally.

Add sugar and lemon juice. add the dash of cinnamon, continue cooking until thickened and tender.

COOKIE; Cream cheese and margarine together, add flour slowly until a smooth dough is formed.

Use a wooden spoon to cream and not a mixer. Chill dough 10-15 minutes.

Roll out on a floured board to a thin layer, cut in circles and place on an ungreased cookie sheet.

Use a small amount of apricots on half the circles to within 1/4 inch of the edge.

Fold circles over and press edges together with a fork. Bake at 350F for 15-20 minutes. It will be a very pale golden brown.

When cool, ice with powdered sugar icing.
