These apricot cookies are one of my favorite treats to whip up whenever I'm craving something sweet and simple. The beautiful thing about this recipe is how incredibly easy it is to make, even if you're not the most experienced baker. Apricots are packed with vitamin A, which is wonderful for your skin and eyes, so you can feel a little better about indulging in these gems. The preserves do most of the flavor work, meaning you're not fussing over complicated techniques or obscure ingredients. Just a few pantry staples, a quick mix, and you'll have golden, jammy cookies that look and taste like you spent hours in the kitchen.
