We substituted chopped pecans for the pine nuts and they came out great! Easy and delicious. I think you could add orange or almond extract as others have suggested and you could probably substitute any dried fruit in these too. Definitely toast the almonds as they add a lot of flavor. Without leavening, the cookies are quite flat and crispy but we liked them that way. The amaretto-confectioners' sugar icing is one of the best things I have learned in food this year.

I too thought about alomond extract instead of the cinnamon. Or even nutmeg instead of the cinnamon...not a big fan of cinamon. I didnt add more apricots but think I would like that as well. The orange zest sounds great and for those that dont want to use alcohol for the iceing then just use the juice of an orange. For the bland response. You probably need more salt to your taste. Its the sweet and salt balance that makes the recipe. For the flat cookies, try adding a teaspoon of leavening, such as baking powder to your flour.

Great Cookie...I doubled the recipe, used a little more than 1 1/2 c apricots, the zest of half an orange and along with the tsp vanilla I added a tsp of almond extract. Couldn't use alcohol so I used water & the zest of the other half of the orange. Adding this to my favorites. Trying pistachios next time, like Giada's Biscotti. BTW, I was told by a New York high-priced caterer that those were the BEST biscotti she ever had.

Love these cookie. They're easy to make, I put less than the recommended 1/2 cup sugar and added a bit more of the apricots, almonds and nuts.

I need help, my cookies looked nothing like this. I chilled the dough and sliced it roughly 1/2 in thick, and they completely flattened out. I'm at a really high altitude, so I don't know if there's something I need to add, I don't bake often. Please help!

I thought the cookies were bland and the icing too sweet. Maybe adding orange zest or almond extract instead of vanilla might help.

This recipe was nice and different! The flavors worked together well and it was super easy to make. The cookies were rocking with the amaretto icing, but you could do it without it and they tasted just as awesome.
