Going Beyond Chocolate Chip or Oatmeal

 


Is it cookie time yet? Chances are, you might be craving a cookie every now and again. And why not? They're incredibly delicious. But maybe you're yearning for something more than just the standby chocolate chip or peanut butter? If that's you, then Tonia's Kitchen has you covered. Tiffany King, who wrote the cookbook, Eat at Home Tonight, told Tonia about her recipe for Apricot Almond Cookies which are simply scrumptious. Tiffany says these cookies are very easy to make and very soft. Use almond butter along with standard cookie ingredients, almonds, dried apricots and white chocolate chips. You might say this is your new standard sweet tooth-satisfying cookie!

  • 3/4 cup butter, softened
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 package (10 to 12 ounces) vanilla or white chips
  • 3/4 cup chopped almonds
  • 3/4 cup chopped dried apricots

  1. In a large bowl, cream butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in egg and vanilla. Combine the flour, baking soda and salt; gradually add to the creamed mixture and mix well. Stir in chips, almonds and apricots.
