Time 1h40m

Yield about 2 dozen cookies

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 sticks (1 cup) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 cup packed light brown sugar
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs, at room temperature
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon kosher salt
3 cups old-fashioned oats
1 cup dried apricots, roughly chopped
3/4 cup white chocolate chips
Nonstick cooking spray, for spraying the baking sheets

Steps:

  • In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. With the mixer on low, add the eggs 1 at a time. Add the vanilla and beat for 1 more minute.
  • In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt. With the mixer on low, slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Add the oats, apricots and white chocolate chips and fold to combine using a rubber spatula, making sure everything is evenly incorporated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour before baking.
  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Spray 2 baking sheets with cooking spray.
  • Using a medium ice cream scoop, drop 2-inch mounds of dough onto the prepared baking sheets. Bake until golden in color, 14 to 16 minutes. Transfer the cookies to a wire rack and let cool completely.

Categories     Chocolate     Breakfast     Bake     Quick & Easy     Muffin

Yield 12 muffins

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 ¾ cups flour
½ cup sugar
1 Tablespoon minced crystallized ginger
1 ½ teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
2 oz. premium white baking chocolate, finely chopped
¾ cup milk
3 Tablespoons butter, melted
1 egg
½ cup apricot preserves
1 Tablespoon sugar

Steps:

  • In large bowl combine flour and next five ingredients (through chocolate). In separate bowl combine milk, butter, and egg. Add to flour mixture and stir just till moist. Spoon about 1 Tablespoon batter into each of 12 greased muffin cups. Spoon 2 teaspoons preserves into center of each muffin cup (do not spread out over batter) and top with remaining batter. Sprinkle evenly with 1 Tablespoon sugar and bake at 400 degrees approximately 20 minutes.

Tips:

  • For a richer flavor, use a high-quality white chocolate. A good rule of thumb is to use a white chocolate that has a cocoa butter content of at least 30%.
  • Make sure the butter and eggs are at room temperature before you start baking. This will help the ingredients mix together more easily and create a smoother batter.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the muffins tough.
  • If you don't have buttermilk on hand, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
  • Fill the muffin tins about 2/3 full. This will help prevent the muffins from overflowing.
  • Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

These white chocolate apricot muffins are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. They're perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a snack.
