I tried making 'em, but had to use soy cream cheese, and sunflower based
margarine. And they were still damn good! I didn't use chunky apricot
preserves, but I will next time. They're great cookies to have with
tea, and I would be quite happy to get them for a pressie for Xmas...

I never saw the original recipe. Do you have it and if so, could you,
please, post it again? Thank you, Margaret

I'm not sure if this is *the* recipe that was referenced, but did a search
on the newsgroup and came up with this one:


Title: APRICOT CREAM CHEESE COOKIES
Categories: Cookies
Yield: 4 servings

1 1/2 c Margarine
1 1/2 c Sugar
8 oz Philadelphia cream cheese
2 Egg
2 T Lemon juice
1 1/2 ts Lemon zest
4 1/2 c Flour
1 1/2 ts Baking powder
Apricot filling
Sugar, confectioners

MMMMM----------------------APRICOT FILLING---------------------------
11 oz Apricots, dried
1/2 c Sugar

Combine margarine, sugar and softened cream cheese mixing until well
blended. Blend in eggs, lemon juice and rind. Add combined dry
ingredients to cream cheese mixture and mix well and chill. Roll
into medium size ball. Place on ungreased cookie sheet. Flatten
slightly, indent center, put apricot filling in center. Bake 350
degrees for 15 minutes. Cool slightly and sprinkle powdered
sugar on top.

Filling: Put 1 pkg. (11 oz.) apricots in saucepan and add water just
cover. Add 1/2 cup (or to taste) sugar and bring to boil. Cover and
simmer 10 minutes or until apricots are soft and most of water is
absorbed. Force through sieve or whirl in blender. Makes 2 cups.

'Twas Z Girl's recipe, I believe:

Apricot Jewels

1 1/2 C flour
1/4 C sugar
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 C butter chilled ( butter only not margarine)
1/2 C flaked coconut
3 oz cream cheese, softened
1/2 C chunky apricot preserves

Combine flour, salt , sugar and baking powder. Cut in the chilled butter and
cream cheese with a fork or pastry blender until mixture is crumbly. Blend
in flaked coconut and apricot preserves.
drop by rounded teaspoons full onto ungreased cookie sheets. bake 15 to 18
minutes 350 degree ( preheated oven)

Apx 3 dozen cookies
Peach preserves can be substituted for the apricot.

I wonder how these would be if you rolled them in chopped toasted almonds
before baking...
