Ingredients for 1 servings:

  • 250 g flour
  • 125 g margarine
  • 110 g brown sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 packet of baking powder
  • 50 g chocolate shavings (whole milk)
  • 2 tbsp apricot liqueur
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • ½ tsp cardamom
  • 50 g hazelnuts, ground
  • 50 g apricot(s), dried
  • powdered sugar
  • liqueur
  • Chocolate coating, optional

Instructions

Working time approx. 40 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 15 minutes; Total time approx. 55 minutes

Finely dice the dried apricots and place them in a bowl with the remaining dough ingredients. Mix everything well. Refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes. Form small balls from the dough and place them on a baking sheet lined with baking paper. Bake in an oven preheated to 180°C (top/bottom heat) for 12-15 minutes. Place the finished cookies on a wire rack to cool. Decoration is a matter of taste. This time I made the icing with powdered sugar and apricot liqueur. For children, I would use juice. Alternatively, the cookies can also be decorated with melted chocolate coating.
