In a large mixing bowl, beat sugar and butter at medium speed until mixture forms a grainy paste and scrape sides of bowl. Add molasses and egg and beat until light and fluffy. Add flour mixture and apricots and blend at a low speed just until combined. Do not overmix. Divide dough in half and shape each half into a roll about 1 1/2 inches in diameter. Wrap rolls in waxed paper and chill until firm.
