Ingredients
1 cup apricot preserves
1 cup finely chopped dried apricots
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon pure lemon extract
Directions
In a medium saucepan, combine the apricot preserves, chopped dried apricots, and sugar over medium heat.
Stir the mixture frequently as it simmers for about 8–10 minutes, until the filling thickens and the apricots soften completely.
Remove from heat and stir in the pure lemon extract until evenly incorporated.
Transfer the filling to a bowl and let it cool to room temperature, about 15–20 minutes, before using in cookies.
The apricot filling is now ready to use as a filling for your kolaczki cookie dough.
