Directions
Preheat oven to 300℉ (150℃).
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 1½ inches in diameter.
Wrap rolls in waxed paper and chill until firm.
Slice cookies ½-inch thick and place on ungreased cookie sheets about 2 inches apart.
Bake 25 to 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.
