30 minThese dreamy cookies live up to their name with a texture that’s somewhere between cake and cookie, thanks to cream cheese worked into the dough.
Flaked coconut and apricot preserves get pulsed right into the batter in a food processor for easy mixing (just don’t overwork it or they’ll lose that light, airy quality).
A simple frosting made with more preserves and powdered sugar crowns each cookie with glossy sweetness.
Chef Tips
- Pulse the dough just until moistened to keep cookies light and tender
- Space cookies 2 inches apart as they spread slightly during baking
- Let cookies cool completely before frosting to prevent melting
