FROSTED COCONUT APRICOT COOKIES



Frosted Coconut Apricot Cookies image

A friend at church gave me this recipe and I tweaked it a bit. The cookies are biscuit-like and the frosting makes them very special. I'm sorry the picture is out of focus and I will try to post a better one when I make these again, perhaps this weekend.

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 16

COOKIES:
1/2 c butter, room temperature
1 pkg (3 ounce) cream cheese, softened
1 Tbsp milk
1/4 c brown sugar, firmly packed
1/2 c apricot preserves
1 1/4 c all purpose flour
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 c finely chopped pecans
FROSTING:
1 c powdered sugar
1/4 c apricot preserves
1 Tbsp butter
1/2 c flaked coconut

Steps:

  • 1. COOKIES: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease cookie sheets or use parchment paper. In a medium bowl, cream together the 1/2 cup butter, cream cheese and milk until well blended. Stir in the brown sugar and 1/2 cup of apricot preserves. Combine the flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt; stir into the batter. Mix in the pecans last.
  • 2. Drop by rounded spoonfuls onto the prepared cookie sheet. Cookies should be about 2 inches apart. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • 3. FROSTING: To make the frosting, combine the powdered sugar, remaining apricot preserves and 1 tablespoon butter. Mix well. Frost cooled cookies and sprinkle liberally with coconut.

Tips:

  • Use dried apricots that are plump and soft. If your apricots are dry, soak them in warm water for 10 minutes before using.
  • For a chewier cookie, use more coconut. For a crispier cookie, use less coconut.
  • If you don't have a food processor, you can chop the apricots and coconut by hand. Just be sure to chop them very finely.
  • Be careful not to overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set. Overbaking will make them dry.

Conclusion:

Apricot coconut cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. They are perfect for any occasion, and they are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you are looking for a sweet and satisfying snack, give these cookies a try. You won't be disappointed!
