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.

Tips:

  • Soften butter and cream cheese to room temperature: This will ensure that they blend together smoothly and create a creamy, light texture for your cookies.
  • Use high-quality chocolate: The quality of the chocolate you use will greatly impact the flavor of your cookies. Opt for a high-quality semisweet or dark chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%.
  • Toast the walnuts: Toasting the walnuts will enhance their flavor and make them more fragrant. You can toast them in a skillet over medium heat or in the oven at 350°F for 5-7 minutes.
  • Use dried apricots that are soft and moist: If your apricots are too dry, they will be difficult to chop and will not distribute evenly throughout the cookies. If your apricots are too moist, they will make the cookies too soft.
  • Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set: The cookies should be slightly soft in the center when you take them out of the oven. If you overbake them, they will be dry and crumbly.

Conclusion:

These chocolate, walnut, and apricot cookies are a delightful treat that is perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With their rich chocolate flavor, crunchy walnuts, and sweet apricots, these cookies are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you are looking for a delicious and easy-to-make cookie recipe, give these chocolate, walnut, and apricot cookies a try. You won't be disappointed!
