  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup fresh apricots, finely chopped

Instructions

  3. Add egg and vanilla extract; mix until combined.
  4. Gradually add dry ingredients to wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
  5. Gently fold in chopped apricots.

  9. Bake for 10–12 minutes until edges are golden brown.
