No Bake Apricot Macaroons

This recipe could not be easier with only 4 ingredients. In a large bowl, combine 2 1/2 cups of shredded coconut, one 14 ounce can of sweetened condensed milk, 2 cups finely diced dried apricots and 1 1/2 cups chopped walnuts. Mix thoroughly and chill for at least 30 minutes. This dough is very sticky to work with. Shape the mixture into small balls and roll into powdered sugar. These cookies should be kept refrigerated.

Apricots can be replaced with another dried fruit of choice such as raisins, dried blueberries or craisins. Tart fruits with the sweetness of the condensed milk make these so tasty. The use of craisins or dried cherries mixed with some green glaceed cherries for Christmas time would make a lovely presentation.

These recipes are all so very easy to make quickly. They are also good ways to have children learn about how to measure ingredients. They can be taught very young about filling a measuring cup or spoon and using a straight edged table knife to scrape level. They can be taught the measuring cup sizes and how to measure liquid ingredients. The actual combining is something a 6 or 7 year old child can do, as well as the scooping out of cookies onto the waxed paper. Forming them into balls is a simple process for these last cookies, and having sticky hands is surely no deterrent to a child.

Have fun with children and grandchildren making some of these cookies. Take delight in the time made more enjoyable by sharing and creating memories that will last a lifetime.
