Chocolate Chip Cookies with Apricots and Walnuts

This is the Rebar Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe and it’s fantastic! I was looking for the recipe on my blog to link to my most recent pictures and realised I hadn’t shared it yet. The chopped apricots are a really nice sweet touch that you’d totally miss if you didn’t know they were in there. I almost always double this recipe.
