Very different, and excellent cookies. The hint of cinamon makes this cookie great. I didn't even bother with the icing. The cookies themselves had a wonderful buttery flavor, and looked beautiful with the specks of orange from the apricots. The toasted pine nuts added a wonderfully surprising element to these cookies too.

These apricot cookies were easy to make and are delicious with or without the icing! I added this to my recipe box and will be making these delightful yummies again. :

These cookies turned out really puffy, more like cake/bread, for me.

This recipe produces a light but yet flavor packed cookie. I love the varying textures between the different nuts and the apricots. I iced half the batch and myself and my co-workers agreed, the cookies without were better. The icing seemed to mask the flavor of the cookie. Definitely a keeper. Thanks Giada!

These cookies hit the spot. They taste as good as they look. After I saw the episode I had to make them. I chopped the nuts and apricots up more fine and it worked out really nice. Also--didn't care much for the icing--the cookie is just perfect without it

Let me say first off, I am not a baker. However after seeing this cookie made on the show I knew I had the motivation to try it especially as I love dried apricots and pine nuts. The dough came together very fast and easy in my stand-mixer by a hand held should do fine also. A few small changes that I made - due to being nut sensitive, I did omit the silvered almonds. For whatever reason actually I can still eat pine nuts : o so I still toasted them but doubled/tripled the amount of those. I also probably used also extra apricot which I chopped in the food processor so they would distribute evenly in the dough. I let dough chill overnight (jsut because I didn't have time that same day and I just baked as directed and let them cool. The frosting with the touch of amaretto was great on the cookie & thankfully didn't bother my nut allergy. I almost used Grand Marnier in the frosting because I was thinking the orange would be nice with the apricot as well. So from a non-baker I really feel comfortable recommending these! Great light cookie for the summer. Giada - you are great & thanks for motivating me to try something different! Fabulous and my husband raved too!

These cookies were such a snap to make and they are delicious! My husband is allergic to almonds so I substituted walnuts and orange juice for the amaretto. They were gone in seconds!! Thanks for such an fast and economical recipe!

After seeing Giada's show and realizing that I had all ingredients at home, I went ahead and made the cookies. They were so good. I used 5 TBSP of Amaretto for the icing. Actually, I could have cut the icing in half or less than that. I only used 1/4 of the icing that the recipe called for. The cookies were good with or without the icing. Without the icing, they taste like short bread. The Amaretto gave them kind of a "hum...what is it?" taste. I loved them both ways.
