How to Make Cream Cheese Apricot Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, cream together 8 ounces (225g) of softened cream cheese and 1/2 cup (115g) of softened unsalted butter until light and fluffy. Use an electric mixer for best results.
  3. Beat in 1 large egg until well combined.
  4. Gradually add 1 ½ cups (180g) of your favorite sugar cookie mix, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Stir in 1 cup (150g) of dried apricot bits (or chopped fresh apricots).
  6. Drop rounded teaspoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
  7. Bake for 12-14 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. Keep a close eye on them to prevent burning.
  8. Remove from oven and let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 1 minute before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
