Stir well with a wooden spoon until mixture is combined but not too creamy. Stir in dried apricots. Turn out dough onto a piece of plastic wrap and mold into a log, 2 inches in diameter. Refrigerate 1 hour. Slice cookies to 1/4-inch thickness and bake 13 to 15 minutes or until done, allowing cookies to cool before enjoying.
