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

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.
