FROSTED COCONUT APRICOT COOKIES
A friend at church gave me this recipe and I tweaked it a bit. The cookies are biscuit-like and the frosting makes them very special. I'm sorry the picture is out of focus and I will try to post a better one when I make these again, perhaps this weekend.

Steps:
- 1. COOKIES: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease cookie sheets or use parchment paper. In a medium bowl, cream together the 1/2 cup butter, cream cheese and milk until well blended. Stir in the brown sugar and 1/2 cup of apricot preserves. Combine the flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt; stir into the batter. Mix in the pecans last.
