Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 227 grams unsalted butter
- 150 grams granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 260 grams all-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 120 grams apricot preserves
- 170 grams white chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter and granulated sugar together with a hand or stand mixer until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
Mix in the vanilla extract until combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until the dough comes together.
Roll the dough into 1-inch balls (about 24), and place them on the baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Use your thumb or the back of a small teaspoon to make an indentation in the center of each cookie.
Fill each indentation with about 1/2 teaspoon of apricot preserves.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 13-15 minutes, or until the edges turn lightly golden.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
While the cookies are cooling, place the white chocolate chips and heavy cream in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 15-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until fully melted and smooth.
Drizzle the melted white chocolate over the cooled cookies with a spoon or piping bag.
Allow the chocolate to set for about 15 minutes before serving. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
