Marcela Valladolid puts a seasonal twist on oatmeal cookies by swapping classic raisins for two ingredients you'll find in abundance in the baking aisle at this time of year: white chocolate chips and dried apricots. "My mom loved white chocolate and apricots, so I decided to develop a recipe for the holidays that reminded me of her when she passed. It is one of those recipes that is very comforting," says The Kitchen co-host. Laced with cinnamon and brown sugar, these cookies are sure to be a hit — especially with guests who prefer a subtle cookie to a heavily frosted concoction.
