Woke up this morning, brushed myself off after last nights
defeat and ventured out into the sunshine to buy more jam. A girl with a mission. I'm happy to say, victory was mine
this morning. Plans for the rest
of my day off? Drinking coffee in the kitchen with Mel, finishing my book,
organizing, exploring Davis and being cooked for by my wonderful boyfriend this
evening. Happy Thursday!
Apricot Squares
3/4 C butter
1 C sugar
1 egg
2 C flour
1/4 t baking powder
1/2 C finely chopped walnuts
1/2 t vanilla
1 jar (12 oz) apricot preserves/jam
In a large mixing bowl cream sugar and butter. Add egg and mix
well. Combine flour and baking powder in a separate bowl. Gradually
add to the butter/sugar/egg mixture. Add walnuts and vanilla; mix well.
Press 2/3 of dough into a greased 9" x13" pan. Spread
with preserves. Press small pieces of remaining dough in random pattern over
the preserves.
Bake at 350 for 30-40 mins or until just
golden-brown. Cool in pan on wire rack. Cut into squares or any shape you like!
