Title: Pajas
Categories: Cookies
Yield: 20 servings

1 c Pecan halves
1 tb Unsalted butter; melted
2 1/2 c Sweetened shredded coconut
1/2 c Chopped dried apricots
1/2 c Chopped semisweet chocolate
Or chocolate morsels
7 oz Sweetened condensed milk;
-canned

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Line a cookie sheet with parchment
paper, or use a nonstick pan.
Toss the pecans in the melted butter to evenly coat. Spread the nuts on
an ungreased baking sheet and bake 10 to 15 minutes, or until golden and
aromatic. Set aside to cool, and then chop roughly. Place the chopped
pecans and the remaining ingredients in a bowl and mix with a wooden spoon
until evenly moistened.
Spoon about 2 tablespoons of batter for each cookie onto the lined
baking sheet and gently flatten to circles of about 2 1/4 inches in
diameter (these cookies do not spread). Bake 10 minutes or until the
coconut turns very pale golden, being careful not to overbrown. Transfer to
racks to cool.
