Holiday Cookie Series - APRICOT CHOCOLATE SANDWICH COOKIES
Tangy apricot preserves sandwiched between two thin vanilla cookies and drizzled with dark chocolate - these APRICOT CHOCOLATE SANDWICH COOKIES ARE fantastic!
I’m expecting this to become a long-standing tradition here at Weekend at the Cottage - an annual HOLIDAY COOKIE SERIES. Since this is our first, we wanted to make it special, so I called upon four of my most-trusted contributors: my beloved sisters.
I asked each one to share a holiday cookie recipe, the one most often requested by their friends and extended family. All of the recipes are familiar to me; two are childhood favourites, and I’ve certainly eaten my fair share of the other two recipes over the years.
I’m launching the series with my sister Maria’s fantastic APRICOT CHOCOLATE SANDWICH COOKIES. Maria behaves like my mom used to in the kitchen; she “feels her way” through a recipe. She adds a pinch of this or a dab of that until it is just right. I admire her “je ne sais quoi” attitude, although I did need to rein it in a bit to ensure we nailed down the recipe for these cookies.
Back to the recipe, here are some of the things that make it so fabulous:
FRUIT CENTRES – Making the apricot preserve for the sandwich centre was super easy, and I love the way the apricots keep their vibrant colour and tangy flavour too. Considerations for next time: I can’t help but wonder what this would taste like with an ounce of Courvoisier, Cointreau or port. I’d also like to try making the preserves with dried figs or cranberries, something Maria had great success with on her most recent batch.
BUTTER – As this is one of those recipes “loaded” with rich, tasty butter, I feel the need to point out that Maria suggested we use “sweet”, which means unsalted. I guess this further proves that we must be related since I only use unsalted butter in my recipes too.
COOKIE DOUGH – I have to say this cookie dough is a dream to work with. I loved how these readily available ingredients came together in no time to form a dough that rolled out without incident.
COOKIE SIZE – Maria’s instructions are to use a shot glass to cut out the circular cookies. I really like this approach as it mirrors my thought on the subject – cookies shouldn’t be bigger than one or two bites this time of year. Smaller cookies will afford guests an opportunity to taste one or two (or six!) different types. I suggest refraining from serving super-sized cookies – dainty, little-bite wonders are the way to go.
CHOCOLATE DRIZZLE – Melting the dark chocolate chips on a double boiler was easy, as was pouring the melted chocolate into a thick bag. The real trick was to trim away the tiniest smidgen off one of the corners of the bag to create a very fine drizzle pattern that I think looks best.
YIELD AND STORAGE – This recipe yields a whopping 66 finished cookies, which is a lot. Feel free to divide the dough in half if you’d like to prepare the second half a few days later. They also keep really well in an airtight container in the fridge or cold room. I asked Maria if they can be frozen she answered truthfully, “How would I know? They’re usually all gone in a day or two!” I like that type of honesty.
Hopefully, I’ve painted a pretty rosy picture of the beauty of these holiday favourites. They’re certainly worth the effort.
APRICOT CHOCOLATE SANDWICH COOKIES are a holiday classic in the making!
