Preparation

1. Place the butter, oil, sugar and baking powder in the bowl of a food processor, and process for about 10 seconds, just until smooth. Add the eggs and vanilla and process again until smooth, about 5 seconds. Add the flour, and process just until it is incorporated and the dough mixture is smooth, about 5 seconds.
2. Transfer the dough to a bowl and stir in the walnut and apricot pieces and the chocolate chips. Drop about 2 tablespoons of dough for each cookie about 2 1/2 inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake at 375 degrees for 8 to 10 minutes.
