  •   1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  •   1 1/4 cups chopped dried apricots or cherries
  •   6 tablespoons sugar
  •   4 ounces cream cheese
  •   5 tablespoons orange juice
  •   FILLING:
  •   1/2 cup cold butter
  •   GLAZE:
  •   1/8 teaspoon salt
  •   1 tablespoon sour cream
  •   4 teaspoons water
  •   1 cup confectioners' sugar
  •   1/2 cup sugar

Instructions

    1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar and salt. Cut in cream cheese and butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add sour cream, tossing with a fork until dough forms a ball. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
    2. Meanwhile, combine filling ingredients in a saucepan; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 10 minutes. Uncover; simmer 7-9 minutes longer or until most of the liquid is absorbed, stirring occasionally. Set the filling aside to cool.
    3. Divide dough in half. On a well-floured surface, roll out each portion into a 10-in. square; cut each into 2-in. squares. Place about 1/2 teaspoon of filling in the center of each square. Bring two opposite corners of square to the center; pinch firmly to seal. Place on greased baking sheets. Bake at 325 degrees F for 18-20 minutes or until edges are lightly browned. Remove to wire racks to cool. Combine the glaze ingredients; drizzle over cooled cookies.

These cookies, popularly known as French cakes are my absolte favorite. I baked them myself for this thanksgiving, and gave the classic cookies a twist by adding orange zest flavor and dipping them in molten chocolate!

The biggest and softest molasses cookies I have ever had. I have tried many recipes and these are the best. The secret is the 1/4 cup of Black Strap molasses (if you have it) added to the regular molasses. And yes, the recipe is correct--no eggs, yet they are still the softest.
