Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In large bowl, mix shortening, the sugars, eggs and vanilla. Beat at medium speed with an electric mixer until well-blended.
Combine 1 1/2 cups of flour, baking soda and salt. Stir into the shortening mixture. Stir in oatmeal. Stir in nuts.
Toss apricots with remaining 1 tablespoon flour. Stir into dough. Stir in white chocolate chips.
Shape dough into 1 1/2-inch balls. Flatten slightly and place 2 inches apart on ungreased baking sheets.
Bake 11 to 13 minutes until slightly moist in the center and just beginning to brown around the edges. Remove immediately to wax-paper-covered paper towels.
