Instructions

1. First chop or cut the dried apricots. Then mix the dry ingredients.
2. Prepare the baking sheet - so grease it or line it with a baking mat or parchment paper. Mix eggs and butter (or margarine or liquid margarine) as well - then fold in. The result is a rather soft dough. Now place small heaps on the tray with two teaspoons. Bake the biscuits at about 180 ° C for about 11-13 minutes. If desired, dust with icing sugar or something immediately (i.e. still hot!) - and then leave to cool.
3. These cookies are really baked in a flash. I had everything ready within an hour - even cooled down and bagged.
4. You don`t even need a mixer or anything - a fork is enough (especially if you use really soft butter or this liquid margarine for it).
5. I didn`t make the piles as small as hazelnuts - but not as big as walnuts either. So I got 65 pieces - almost three trays full. Others already had 75 biscuits - or only 2 trays full. It sure depends on how big the piles are. By the way, they are not very wide - just a little.
6. And about the taste or the sensory properties: They are by no means crispy - but rather fluffy and soft, just clouds. So maybe more like cookies - than real (= crispy) cookies.
