APRICOT PEANUT COOKIES




135g butter
105g castor sugar
30g peanut butter jam
1/2tsp vanilla essence
1/8tsp salt
190g plain flour
40g dried apricots, finely diced

Garnishing (combined)
40g peanuts, finely chopped
2 tbsp toasted sesame seeds

Place butter, sugar, essence, salt and peanut butter jam in a mixing bowl.  Beat until light and fluffy.

Sift in flour and stir in apricots to mix.

Turn out dough onto a lightly floured tabletop.  Roll out dough between two plastic sheets.  Cut out with any desired cookie cutter.  Brush lightly with milk and press in a little of the combined peanut and sesame seed mixture in the centre of the cut-out dough.

Arrange the cookies, spreading them out neatly, on lightly greased baking trays.  Bake in preheated oven at 175 degrees centrigrade for about 15 minutes or until golden brown.
