Tonight was my moms group’s annual cookie party.

I really had a fun time! I made a recipe that I have never made before. I got it from one of my favorite blogs, The Pioneer Woman

I made the Apricot Bars. I really loved them! I would definitely make them again, but I think that I would use a different brand of apricot preserves. When I went to the store for some reason everything apricot flavored was gone. But, they were really easy and really delicious.

Here is the recipe:

Apricot Bars

1 1/2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups oats
1 cup packed brown sugar
1 3/4 sticks (regular, salted) butter, cut into pieces
1 10-12 ounce jar Apricot Preserves

Mix all ingredients except Apricot Preserves. Press one half of the mixture into a buttered 8? square (or small rectangular) pan. Spread with a 10-12 ounce jar of apricot preserves. Sprinkle second half of mixture over the top and pat lightly. Bake at 350 for 30 – 40 minutes or until light brown. Let cool completely, then cut into squares.

It was a fun night of good food, great company, and nice wine. I had fun seeing some of my friends that I haven’t seen in a while.
