Apricot Pillow Cookies are delightful and tender cookies with a sweet apricot filling. They are perfect for a nostalgic treat or any special occasion.

Ingredients: 1 cup unsalted butter, softened. 1 cup powdered sugar. 2 cups all-purpose flour. 1/2 cup apricot preserves. 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract. Pinch of salt. Powdered sugar, for dusting.

Instructions: Warm the oven up to 350F 175C and put parchment paper on a baking sheet. Melt the butter and mix it with the powdered sugar in a bowl until the mixture is light and fluffy. Put in the vanilla extract and a little salt. Mix everything together. Mix in the all-purpose flour slowly until a soft dough forms. Cut the dough into small pieces and roll each one into a ball. Make a small depression in the middle of each ball with your thumb or the back of a teaspoon. In the hole in the middle of each cookie, put a small amount of apricot preserves. Heat the oven to 350F. Bake the cookies for 12 to 15 minutes, or until they are almost set and the edges are lightly golden. Do not take the cookies out of the oven right away. Let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes. Move the cookies to a wire rack to cool all the way down. Add powdered sugar to the cookies after they have cooled all the way down. Serve and have fun!
