Thank you for featuring my Sacher Torte cookies! My oldest daughter and I also like anything with apricot. I also make my mom’s apricot strudel for the holidays (3 logs, so I can keep 1 or 2 in the freezer). They’re smaller slices in a thin cream cheese dough ~ yummy! And my 2 aunts (and daughter) like my big dried apricots that I half dip in chocolate and dust with edible gold glitter for the holidays too. Have a fun-filled rest of the year and a blessed new year. Add a hug and pet for me into Ali’s stocking (which I’m sure you have ……we still hang the stockings for our beloved labs, and have 2 stuffed ones that look like them on the hearth below)
