Apricot Thumbprint Cookies

For some reason these cookies remind me of sleepovers at my nana's house. That lady has an abundance of apricot preserves. What do you do with that much apricot? Bagels? Toast? Cookies! These are exceptionally fun because you're supposed to squish your fingers into them.

2 cups all purpose flour
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt

3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup canola oil
1/2 cup almond milk
1 1/2 tsp almond extract
1 cup apricot preserves

-Preheat oven to 350
-Combine flour, baking powder, salt, & sugar in a medium bowl
-In a separate bowl combine oil, milk, and extract. Slowly beat into flour mixture until a soft dough forms
- Lightly oil two baking sheets with cooking spray. Roll dough into 1 1/2" balls and place balls 1" apart on sheet
-Bake for 7 minutes, then quickly remove from oven and place your thumb into the center of each cookie to form an indentation. Spoon a tiny dollop of preserves into the hole. Place back into the oven and bake for another 7-10 minutes
