Try this easy apricot jam cookies recipe if you want to bake delicious cookies with only 6 ingredients!

Baking cookies is a must for us on a regular basis, but although we do like our favourite “soetkoekies“, “crunchies” and custard cookies, I like to experiment with other recipes too. This is a new-to-us recipe and it calls for apricot jam. It is such an easy recipe too!

These cookies are the soft and chewy kind. It must be the fruity ingredient that causes it to be soft. The texture reminds me of these soft and chewy chocolate chip cookies, but the look is deceivingly similar to ginger cookies.

Since it is a dough that does not need to be chilled and also do not require rolling and pressing out shapes(and no icing requires either), it is really quick to bake.
