Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients you use, the better your cookies will taste. Choose high-quality butter, flour, and chocolate chips.
- Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing will make the cookies tough. Mix the dough just until the ingredients are combined.
- Chill the dough before baking: This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
- Bake the cookies at the right temperature: The cookies should be baked at 350 degrees Fahrenheit. If the oven is too hot, the cookies will brown too quickly and the centers will be undercooked.
- Don't overbake the cookies: The cookies are done when the edges are golden brown and the centers are set. If you overbake them, they will be dry and crumbly.
- Let the cookies cool completely before serving: This will allow the flavors to develop and the cookies to firm up.
Conclusion:
Surprise Sandies are a delicious and easy-to-make cookie that is perfect for any occasion. They are made with a simple dough that is filled with a sweet and tangy apricot filling. The cookies are then baked until they are golden brown and the filling is bubbly. Surprise Sandies are a perfect treat for a party or a potluck, or they can be enjoyed as a simple snack.
