FRENCH APRICOT CREAM CHEESE BARS
Never trust a skinny cook always was my motto, but this is an exception!. My sis in law Donna Mae made these and I fell in love with them. They are rich, crumbly, creamy, and fruity and are one of my favorite cookies. People always ask me for the recipe when I make these.
