Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Place the butter, oil, sugar and baking powder in the bowl of a food processor, and process for about 10 seconds, just until smooth. Add the eggs and vanilla and process again until smooth, about 5 seconds. Add the flour, and process just until it is incorporated and the dough mixture is smooth, about 5 seconds.

  2. Step 2

    Transfer the dough to a bowl and stir in the walnut and apricot pieces and the chocolate chips. Drop about 2 tablespoons of dough for each cookie about 2 ½ inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake at 375 degrees for 8 to 10 minutes.

eg

Splendid and simple. The apricot adds so much.

Batter flat? These are delicious, easy, and a little unusual. If you don't like vanilla, try almond extract. I cut up dark or bittersweet chocolate, to put in, instead of chocolate morsels. for more intense flavor.

Batter is flat, vanilla flavor only. Mix-in’s are good. Would prefer chocolate chip cookie batter with same mix-ins to this batter with oil.
