CHOCOLATE CHUNK COOKIES WITH PECANS DRIED APRICOTS
My friend Cheryl, passed this recipe to me. The cookies came out DEVINE! I make them without the cherries, but I am sure they would be great with them too! I also lined the cookie sheet with parchments paper to avoid too much spreading. When I make these cookies I let the dough chill for about 45 minutes. Make sure if you opt for white chocolate you use fine quality white chocolate, because it does make a difference!! I also used a small scoop to drop the cookies on the baking sheet.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix flour, oatmeal,and baking soda in a medium bowl. Cream butter and sugars with a mixer until light and fluffy. Reduce speed to low.

Stir in chocolate and apricots.Cover, and refrigerate until cold, about 30 minutes.
- Drop heaping tablespoons of dough onto parchment-lined baking sheets, spacing 2 inches apart. Bake until cookiesare golden brown around the edges but still soft in the center, 14 to 16 minutes.Let cookies cool on baking sheets for 2 minutes. Transfer cookies to a wire rack; let cool.
Tips:
- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
- Use a high-quality chocolate. The chocolate is the star of the show in these cookies, so it's important to use a good one. Look for a chocolate with a high cocoa content (at least 60%) and a rich, flavorful taste.
- Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing the dough will make the cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the cookies at a high temperature for a short amount of time. This will help the cookies get crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside.
- Let the cookies cool completely before enjoying them. This will give the flavors a chance to develop and the cookies a chance to firm up.
