2/3 cup Butter

3 1/2 cup Flour

1/2 cup Sugar

4 teaspoons Baking Powder

1/2 teaspoon Salt

2/3 cup finely chopped Dried Apricots

1 cup White Chocolate Chips

2 Eggs

2/3 cup Half & Half

Heat oven to 400 degrees.  In food processor, process butter, flour, sugar, and baking powder, and salt until

mixture is crumbly.  Stir in apricots and white chocolate chips.   By hand, add egg and just enough

half & half, so dough forms a ball.  Turn dough onto a floured surface. Kneed lightly 10 times.  Pat into

two(2) eight inch circles and cut each circle into nine(9) wedges.  Sprinkle with sugar if desired.  Bake

on greased cookie sheet about 15 minutes, or until golden brown.  Serve warm

You may use chopped pecans instead of white chocolate chips, or both.

You may also use any type of dried fruit,(ie: cranberries, raisins, pears, etc.)

ENJOY!!!!
