Apricot & White Chocolate Cookies

When I was a kid
we had an apricot tree
in our backyard.

Our summers
were filled with...
1. helping Mom prune the tree
2. waiting patiently for them to ripen
3. sharing in a wonderful snack
as we played throughout the day.

So, when I found this recipe
I could not resist but try them.

They were so delicious.
