1-3/4 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1 teaspoon baking powder |
3/4 teaspoon baking soda |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1 cup chopped dried apricots |
1 cup chopped pecans |
Directions:
1. In a bowl, cream shortening and brown sugar. Beat in egg, milk and vanilla. Combine dry ingredients; gradually add to creamed mixture. Stir in apricots and pecans.
2. Drop by rounded tablespoonfuls 3 in. apart onto ungreased baking sheets. Bake at 375° for 10-13 minutes or until light golden brown. Cool for 2 minutes; remove to wire racks. Yield: 4-1/2 dozen.
