These are excellent. This recipe is from Cooking Light December 2000. I have made these for several years. Today I baked a batch and used a whole egg; delicious. Thanks for posting the recipe. (Used Apricot preserves today.)
RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I am a former "I hate to cook" type who discovered that eating out all the time was making me fat. I am a novice in the kitchen, but I'm almost always happier with meals I make in vs. eat out. I do LOVE a truly great dining experience, it is worth it to let someone else do the cooking in those situations. But I am eating out much less now than I used to.
I look for lighter, healthier recipes. I'm mostly cooking for just my husband and myself, but occasionally like to entertain and don't want to clog my friends' arteries either!
