The 1 Cookie My Husband Devours Every Summer!

1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup dried apricots, chopped
1/2 cup shelled pistachios, chopped

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.

Add the vanilla extract and mix until well combined.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing until just combined.

Fold in the chopped apricots and pistachios until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Gently flatten each cookie with the back of a spoon or your fingers.

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.

Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
