STEPHANIE'S APRICOT WHITE CHOCOLATE COOKIES



Stephanie's Apricot White Chocolate Cookies image

I got this recipe from my brother, who is a chef in Philadelphia. We trade recipes from time to time, and he thought they would be tasty. I agreed. I thought the recipe was unique, pairing two distinct flavors in one mouthful. My brother and my father enjoy white chocolate, and they asked me to bake these cookies for them as part of our holiday celebration. Although my brother is a professional, he'll even admit that he defers to me when it comes to cookies, pies and cakes! In our family, I do the baking. I enjoy the flavor of white chocolate mixed with the sweetness of the apricots. I also love how pretty these cookies are. They are great with a cup of tea or a glass of cold milk. Lastly, these cookies are a snap to make. That makes them even better!

APRICOT WHITE CHOCOLATE COOKIES



Apricot White Chocolate Cookies image

A heavenly cookie with an unbelievable flavor. The nuts are optional, or can be exchanged with other types (almonds and walnuts are also good). For the white chocolate, I chop up 2 Lindt white chocolate and coconut bars because I like the coconut addition, but any other white chocolate bar or white chocolate chips would work just as well.

Categories     Drop Cookies

Time 40m

Yield 18-24 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 10

3/4 cup unsalted butter or 3/4 cup margarine
1 cup brown sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 egg
1 2/3 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup chopped hazelnuts (optional)
1 cup chopped dried apricot
1 cup quality white chocolate (or more, chopped into chunks)

Steps:

  • Preheat over to 350°F (or 175°C).
  • In a large bowl, cream together the butter and brown sugar.
  • Beat in the egg and vanilla.
  • Mix in the flour, baking soda and salt.
  • Add the nuts, apricots and white chocolate.
  • Spoon onto an ungreased cookie sheet and bake for 8 to 12 minutes. (These cookies don't spread very much, so they can be pretty closely packed onto the cookie sheet).
  • Transfer to a cooling rack.

Tips:

  • To achieve the best texture, use a combination of both granulated and brown sugar.
  • Chill the dough thoroughly. Chilling helps to prevent the cookies from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Use a cookie scoop to ensure uniform-sized cookies that bake evenly.
  • Don't over mix the dough, as this can make the cookies tough.
  • Line your baking sheets with parchment paper for easy cleanup and to prevent the cookies from sticking.
  • Bake the cookies until the edges are golden brown and the centers are just set. Overbaking will dry out the cookies.
  • Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Chocolate chip apricot cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion.
