Preparation Steps

• Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
• In a large bowl, combine flour and sugar. Cut in the cold butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
• Beat in the egg and vanilla extract to form a soft dough. Divide dough into two balls, wrap in plastic, and chill for 30 minutes.
• Roll out each dough ball on a lightly floured surface to a 1/4-inch thickness. Cut into 2-inch squares.
• Place a teaspoon of apricot preserves in the center of each square. Fold corners to the center and press gently.
• Bake for 15-18 minutes until golden brown. Cool on wire racks.
• Dust cookies with powdered sugar before serving.
