Today we are sharing Apricot Coconut Cookies! These are the perfect combination of fruity flavors combined into a seriously good cookie. I gave these to John's Grandmother and she loved them.
Apricot Cookies
Day 11 already of our 25 days of holiday cookies and treats!
Can you tell I have been on a coconut kick lately? I just realized we have already had 4 other cookies with coconut in them over the past 11 days of holiday cookies. I really hope y'all like coconut as much as I do.
If you are not a coconut fan like our Hawaiian neighbor, which seems wrong on so many levels, Don't worry we will have some non-coconut cookies this week too! 🙂
Are you diving headfirst into holiday baking or putting it off for a few more weeks?
Before I forget the glaze that is on these cookies is pure bliss. Oh my goodness! I am going to admit here and now that I just might have licked the spoon and went back for a second sample of the glaze. Hello Yum!
Apricot Cookies Ingredients
- All-purpose flour
- Sugar
- Baking powder
- Butter
- Cream cheese
- Shredded coconut
- Apricot preserves
Glaze
- Confectioner sugar
- Apricot preserves
- Butter
- Milk
Large Mixing Bowl - We are big fans of this glass batter bowl that has a handle. It makes it easy to mix ingredients and keeps the mixing bowl steady on the counter.
Cookie Scoop - A cookie scoop makes it so easy to get consistent cookies that all look great together.
Parchment Paper - I am a huge fan of using parchment paper to make clean up and serving so much easier.
Baking Sheet - I like to use baking sheets with sides so there is no way I can be clumsy and have the cookies slide right off into the oven {not that I want to admit that it has happened but I did learn my lesson.}
Heat resistant potholders - A couple of years ago we had a fire scare when we didn't realize we had turned a burner on and a cloth potholder caught fire. Thankfully we walked by the kitchen and saw the smoke and were able to get it out ourselves. Since then we have only used these heat-resistant potholders.
