apricot almond dream cookies
(1 rating)
A package of dried apricots began this journey, and now they are one of my ultimate cookies. I love the chewiness of these cookies. The white chocolate drizzle is made with white chocolate chips melted with a little cream and cream cheese and powdered sugar. Then, topped with sliced almonds that give these cookies that extra special crunch on top. I hope you love them as much as I do.
