I bought these dried apricots at Trader Joe's - must've been two years ago at least. Got them in Seal Beach, CA and drove them home to Imperial, CA (207 miles). Then, they traveled from California to Montana (1,410 miles). When I opened them today, I was happy to find they were still soft. Good thing because I wanted to make some cookies!
The March 2009 issue of Living had a recipe for Oatmeal Cookies with Dried Apricots and White Chocolate. They are very good cookies, but somewhat sweet, so I made the second batch on the small side. They are crisp on the outside and soft on the inside. I think these cookies would travel well.
I crack myself up sometimes.
Oooo, those sound good!
ReplyDeleteThey will travel well, right into my mouth!
ReplyDeleteKaren,
ReplyDeleteI made those at Christmas...I think I got the recipe from the Hershey Website.
They were delicious....except for the fact that my apricots were not very firm and actually rather gooey. I should have gotten them from Trader Joes (I know their dried fruit) is excellent. So..I am going to give it another go with different apricots and using your recipe. Thanks for sharing:-)
By the way...I deleted my "Boys Will B Boys" Blog and started a new blog

I wanted to write about my favorite things, and my boys wanted their privacy. It worked out well!
Cookies always travel well - with me, that is!
ReplyDeleteYum, I love apricots in cookies, they add a nice texture.
ReplyDeleteI don't know that I've ever had apricots in cookies, but I would travel to them to try them! And you crack me up too!! I have some apricots so I may have to give these a try!! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteYup I agree, they would travel well, right out to Massachusetts and into my tummy :)
ReplyDeleteWow I must try that recipe this weekend. Thanks!!
They look scrumptious! I bet apricots and white chocolate taste wonderful together!
ReplyDeleteYou've been saving them for TWO years!? They're definitely good travelers. LOL.
ReplyDeleteNice looking cookies! I really like the sound of the white chocolate and dried apricot combo!
ReplyDeleteThese look so good, I would love these as I love soft in the middle cookies!
ReplyDeleteI love that apricot, white chocolate, oatmeal combo. Pure genius.
ReplyDeleteThese look like wonderful cookies!
Dried fruit has saved me on more than one long trip. It's usually the package that I've long ago forgotten at the bottom of my bag...when I'm far from home and hungry, it's what gets me through until I reach civilization once more.
ReplyDeleteThese cookies look great! I love oatmeal cookies with dried fruit in them. I just baked a batch with dried apples and cranberries.
