Apricot Sage Cookies

A savory cookie, for a change. I love exploring and testing new cookie recipes. I enter a local cookie competition each year and I've been a finalist several times. Here's another great savory cookie. I love the combination  of Apricots and Sage in this cookie. I believe this recipe comes from Epicurious. There are many adaptations available online.

Here's what you'll need:
A Sheet Pan lined with Parchment Paper.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

8 TBS Butter, softened
3/4 C Granulated Sugar
1 Egg
3/4 C  + 2 TBS Flour
1/2 tsp Baking Soda
1/4 C chopped dried Apricots
2 TBS Finely chopped fresh Sage leaves
1/2 C Cornmeal
1/2 tsp Salt

In a Stand Mixer with a paddle attachment:
Butter
Sugar
Egg
beat until well combined and creamy.

In a small bowl:
Flour
Baking Soda
Salt
Whisk well.
Sift into the wet ingredients just until combined.
Add:
Sage
Cornmeal
Mix well.
Add the Apricots and beat until combined.
Refrigerate the dough for 1 hour.

Using a 1 1/2 " Cookie Scoop, drop the dough 2" apart onto the sheet pan.
Bake for 10 minutes.
Remove the pan to a rack and cool for 5 minutes.
Transfer the cookies to the rack and cool completely.

Enjoy!
Peace in the Kitchen!
