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!

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start baking, measure and prepare all of your ingredients. This will help you stay organized and ensure that you don't forget anything.
  • Use High-Quality Ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the taste of your cookies. Use fresh, high-quality ingredients whenever possible.
  • Don't Overmix the Dough: Overmixing the dough will make your cookies tough. Mix the dough just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the Dough: Chilling the dough before baking will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the Cookies at the Right Temperature: The ideal baking temperature for oatmeal cookies is 350°F. If you bake the cookies at a higher temperature, they will brown too quickly and the centers will be undercooked.
  • Let the Cookies Cool Completely: Before you enjoy your cookies, let them cool completely on a wire rack. This will help them set and develop their full flavor.

Conclusion:

These oatmeal cookies with dried apricots and white chocolate are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. They're perfect for a snack or dessert, and they're also a great way to use up leftover oatmeal. With their chewy texture, sweet flavor, and fruity and chocolatey additions, these cookies are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
