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.

Number Of Ingredients 16

Ingredients

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 good quality dried apricots: Plump, unsulfured dried apricots are the best choice for these cookies. If your apricots are hard or dry, soak them in hot water for 10 minutes before using.
Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing will make the cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
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. They will continue to firm up as they cool.
Let the cookies cool completely before frosting them: This will help the frosting set properly.
Use a simple glaze or frosting: A simple glaze or frosting is all you need to complement the flavor of the cookies. A cream cheese frosting or a simple powdered sugar glaze would both be good choices.

Conclusion:

Frosted apricot cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. These cookies are soft and chewy, with a sweet and tangy apricot flavor. The frosting adds a touch of sweetness and creaminess that perfectly complements the cookies. Whether you are making them for a special occasion or just for a snack, frosted apricot cookies are sure to be a hit.
