Oatmeal Cookies with Dried Apricots and White Chocolate

View Recipe this link opens in a new tab

Though it doesn't look like chocolate, white chocolate is indeed a product of the cocoa bean. Real white chocolate is ivory-colored rather than pure white, because its chief ingredient, cocoa butter, is actually yellow. Browse our collection of desserts starring white chocolate, including cookies, candy, sherbet, cake, frosting, and more. Tangy dried apricots temper the sweetness of white chocolate in these chewy oatmeal cookies. Add toasted, chopped pecans or walnuts to the dough if you like.
