COOKIE BUTTER AND APRICOT ICEBOX CAKE
Consider this no-bake dessert the layered cheesecake of your dreams. It's simple to make, but packed with complex flavors -- alternating bites of cookie butter-cream cheese, speculoos cookies (think spiced shortbread meets a biscuit cookie) and apricot preserves. A little extra plastic wrap helps you unmold the cake easily.

Steps:
- Line an 8-by-8-inch baking dish with plastic wrap, leaving about 2 inches of overhang on all sides. Stir together the apricot preserves and 1 tablespoon water in a small bowl. Set aside.
- Combine the cookie butter, sugar and cream cheese in a large bowl and beat with an electric mixer until smooth, about 2 minutes. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed. Add the cream and continue to beat, starting on medium speed until the cream and cookie butter mixture are combined and then increasing the speed to medium high, until very stiff peaks form, about 3 minutes.
- Spread a quarter of the cookie butter-cream on the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Evenly dollop with 3 tablespoons of preserves. Arrange 10 cookies on top of the preserves, breaking some up into little pieces to fill in the gaps. Repeat this layering process 2 more times, each time with a quarter of the cookie-butter cream, 3 tablespoons of the preserves and 10 cookies. Make a final cookie butter-cream layer with the remaining mixture. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 8 hours and up to 12. Refrigerate the remaining preserves.
- Once completely chilled, remove the plastic wrap from the top of the icebox cake and invert onto a platter. Remove the rest of the plastic wrap. Lightly crush the reserved cookies and sprinkle on top of the cake. Drizzle the remaining preserves over the cookie crumbles.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Grease a cookie sheet and line it with parchment paper.
- Whisk together dry ingredients.
- Blend wet ingredients until as close to smooth as possible.
- Mix dry ingredients with the wet mixture until fully incorporated. The batter will be thick and sticky, so it would probably be easiest to do this with a fork or mixing spoon.
- Stir in the oats and apricots.
- Form into balls and flatten onto parchment paper. Again, this is easier to do with wet hands.
- Bake for about 15 to 20 minutes or until the tops look golden (don't wait for them to brown or they will be too hard when they cool).
- To store (and for transportation purposes), I like to wrap each cookie in plastic wrap. Voila! Bakery-style!

APRICOT BUTTER COOKIES
Steps:
- In a small saucepan combine the apricots, 1/4 cup of the granulated sugar, and 2/3 cup of water, simmer the mixture for 15 to 18 minutes, or until the mixture is reduced by half, and add the rum. Let the mixture cool slightly and in a blender purée it.
- In a bowl whisk together the flour, the baking powder, and a pinch of salt. In a large bowl with an electric mixer beat together the butter, the remaining 1/2 cup granulated sugar, and the brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, beat in the vanilla and the egg, and beat the mixture until it is combined well. Add the flour mixture and beat the dough until it is just combined. Form the dough into a log, chill it for 1 hour, and divide it into 8 pieces.
- Working with 1 piece of dough at a time, on a sheet of plastic wrap form the pieces into 8-inch ropes, wrapping the plastic wrap around the ropes to keep the dough from sticking, and on 2 baking sheets pat the rope into a 8- by 1 1/2-inch rectangles. Make a canal down the center of each rectangle with your finger and spread the apricot purée in the canals. Bake the rectangles in 2 batches in the middle of a preheated 350°F. oven for 18 to 20 minutes, or until the edges are golden, transfer them to racks, and let them cool. In a small bowl whisk together the confectioners' sugar, the lemon juice, and enough water to make a thick but pourable icing, drizzle the icing over the rectangles diagonally into 1-inch strips. The cookies keep in an airtight container for 1 week.

Steps:
- Whisk together flour and salt in a bowl. Beat butter and sugar in separate bowl with an electric mixer until very pale and fluffy, about 4 minutes, then beat in egg and both extracts. At low speed, beat in flour mixture just until a dough forms. Wrap dough in plastic and chill until firm, about 1 hour. Preheat oven to 350°F with racks in the top and bottom thirds. Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper. Pinch off heaping teaspoon-size balls of dough and roll into balls. Place balls on the prepared baking sheets, about 2 inches apart and flatten slightly with the palm of your hand. Bake until puffed, but not browned, about 8 minutes. Remove baking sheets from oven and carefully make a small crater in the middle of each cookie using a teaspoon-size measuring spoon. Fill each crater with ¼ to ½ teaspoon preserves and sprinkle a couple of slivered almonds in preserves. Continue to bake cookies until golden brown on bottom and edges, about 8 minutes more. Cool cookies on baking sheets 5 minutes and then transfer to racks and cool completely. (These cookies can be prepared up to 3 days ahead. Store in an airtight container at room temperature).

APRICOT CRESCENTS
When I was in college, my roommate's mother sent these flaky horns in a holiday care package. I've been making them ever since. When I mail them to my parents, I put an equal number in two tins labeled "his" and "hers" so there's no squabbling over who gets more. - Tamyra Vest, Scottsburg, Virginia
