Last night, my sweet tooth got the better of me, and I had a few moments to spare…

…so I wanted something that was a bit sweet, maybe warm and really delicious, maybe reminiscent of being a tiny bit healthy too would be good, to alleviate the guilt! LOL

So, I thought I would make some breadcrumb cookies after looking through my ingredients and what I had in the pantry.

I dreamed up a bit of an Asian inspired flavor, as I had made a stir fry for dinner.

Apricot Sesame Breadcrumb Cookies it is! Now, don’t turn your nose up at the word breadcrumb! It’s an often-overlooked ingredient that’s more than likely in your pantry already.

I’ve shared with you my Breadcrumb Chocolate Chip Cookies, and they were stellar, but these are marvelous in their own right!

Enjoy…these are amazing & could be highly addictive. Just sayin’! 😉
