2 1/2 tsp. real vanilla extract
3 1/2 to 4 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
3/4 tsp. sea salt
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. baking powder
2 cups dried apricots chopped
2 cups white chocolate chips
1 cup almonds slivered or sliced

Use unbleached flour for better texture.
Plumping apricots improves chewiness.
White chocolate, not vanilla chips, gives better flavor.
