While looking for Marilyn's apricot cookies, I came across these Gourmet cookie recipes. I have a

vague recollection of an issue that featured many years of cookies and think these may be the recipes. Original link is broken, but it might have been December, 2008. Seems to be some real gems here, I thought some of you cookie bakers might like to see them.http://cookies.failed-dam.org/Great%20Cookies.docx

The first thing I noticed was the size. Note there are NO SIX INCH cookies made

half a century ago.

I think those folks were a lot smarter then.

Thanks for searching, C!

oh, and I found the Gourmet section name: SUGAR AND SPICE

That was where people could submit their own recipes and where the apricot bar recipe (using unsulfured apricots) was submitted by a mother.

Any other ingredients you can remember? As Michael and Ang do, I like the rabbit hole!

Not really. I remember it mostly for the sulfur vs unsulfured discussion.

And at that time (way back when) the only unsulfured kind I could find were the brown ones at the health food store.

And I so love the color of dried apricots.
