When I was working as a household assistant I got to do a lot of experimentation in the kitchen. My boss would buy fun books to help be more creative with the kids lunches and snacks. She found one Lunch Boxes and Snacks By Annabel Karmel, you can find her book and others like it on my amazon store. I made few things from the book, the kids enjoyed them. One great healthy cookie was this White chocolate apricot cookie. Its soft and chewy just how I like a cookie, and its different. The textures and flavors go together well.
Ingredients
1/2c unsalted butter
1/2c cream cheese
1/2c sugar
1/2c AP flour
1/4c chopped dried apricots
1//4c chopped white chocolate or white chocolate chips
Method
Preheat the oven to 350F.
Line some baking sheets with parchment or other baking paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and cream cheese. Add the sugar and beat until fluffy. Gradually add the flour, then fold in the apricots and chocolate. The dough will be quite soft and wet.
Drop heaped teaspoons of the mixture onto the baking sheets and bake for about 15 minutes until lightly golden. Allow the cookies to cool and harden for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
