Apricot And White Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies Recipes

WHITE CHOCOLATE APRICOT OATMEAL COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line two sheet pans with parchment paper or silicon baking mats. Set aside.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream together the butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla, beat until well-blended. Scrape down the sides of the bowl.
• In a separate bowl, stir together the flour, cinnamon, baking soda, salt, baking powder, and nutmeg. Add the dried apricot pieces and toss with the flour mixture to coat (this prevents them from sticking together).
• Add the flour/apricot mixture to the mixing bowl along with the chocolate chips. Mix just until combined. Add the rolled oats and mix just until combined.
• Scoop the cookie dough onto the prepared sheet pans using a medium cookie scoop, spacing the cookies two inches apart (they spread a lot). Dampen your hands with water, and press down on each ball of dough.
• Bake the cookies for 8 to 10 minutes, or just until the cookies begin to turn dark brown at the edges.
• Let cool for 5 minutes on the sheet pans, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Steps:

• In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. With the mixer on low, add the eggs 1 at a time. Add the vanilla and beat for 1 more minute.
• In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt. With the mixer on low, slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Add the oats, apricots and white chocolate chips and fold to combine using a rubber spatula, making sure everything is evenly incorporated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour before baking.
• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Spray 2 baking sheets with cooking spray.
• Using a medium ice cream scoop, drop 2-inch mounds of dough onto the prepared baking sheets. Bake until golden in color, 14 to 16 minutes. Transfer the cookies to a wire rack and let cool completely.
