      COOKIE; Cream cheese and margarine together, add flour slowly until a
   smooth dough is formed.  Use a wooden spoon to cream and not a mixer. Chill
   dough 10-15 minutes. Roll out on a floured board to a thin layer, cut in
   circles and place on an ungreased cookie sheet. Use a small amount of
   apricots on half the circles to within 1/4" of the edge. Fold circles over
   and press edges together with a fork. Bake at 350F for 15-20 minutes. It
   will be a very pale golden brown. When cool, ice with powdered sugar icing.
   These are delightful with hot tea.
