Life: Idiotropic

Made these with a friend today... love them. I'd forgotten how easy they are to make.

I essentially used the Joy of Cooking recipe, though when I make them again, I won't do the raspberry ones. Those are just too sweet for me, but I like the tartness of the apricot. Next time I'll make a poppy seed filling (crushed poppy seeds with a bit of sugar and may be a bit of white wine), and use that in some with or without the apricot. I think a nice mixture of chopped nuts (like a baklava nut mix) would be delicious as well.

The dough is extremely easy to work with though and takes little effort. Just make sure you chill it at least an hour. Sooner and you'll have cracking dough (which is what happened with my first batch). Thankfully, the ugly ones taste just as good.
