CP's Cranberry & White Chocolate Cookies
« on: August 31, 2014, 11:02:52 am »
These are currently my son's favourite biscuits, and are fortunately so quick and easy to make

Ingredients:
25g almonds
40g white chocolate
150g unsalted butter
150g Plain flour
1/2 tsp bicarb soda
1/2 tsp salt
150g light soft brown sugar
50g rolled oats
50g dried cranberries
1 large egg yolk, or 2 small yolks (Note: yolks only)

Method:
Preheat oven 190o / 375oF
1.  Add almonds to TM bowl 10 Secs / Speed 7. Set aside.
2.  Roughly handchop chocolate. (You could do in TM, but I find handchopping gives more consistent chunks). Set aside with almonds.
3.  Add butter to TM bowl 1 - 2 mins / 60o / Speed 3 until butter has just melted.
4.  Add all ingredients to the TM including almond meal and chocolate, and Knead / 10 Secs until just combined.
5.  Using your hands, form into walnut sized balls and arrange on two large nonstick baking sheets. Gently press down with a fork, leaving space between them for the biscuits to spread.
6.  Bake in the oven 10-12 minutes, then remove and leave to cool on a wire rack.

CP you certainly know the way to my mob's heart. The biscuit barrel is full but I will put this recipe into Snap Recipes and they will be next.

These are gorgeous CP!  Went down well with my coffee this morning.  I only ever allow myself 1 biscuit, but I did have a second of these.  ;D

I used white choc bits so didn't need to chop the choc and would use them again.  So quick and easy, a great conversion, thanks CP  :D

I will have to try one again tomorrow, just to see how the sweetness is and whether I could afford to reduce the sugar a little next time.  It's a hard task but someone has to do it.  ;D

JulieO they look simply divine.  I bought some white chocolate and needed more cranberries so I can make these on the weekend.

I'll be making these this weekend. My bickie barrel is nearly empty as my cookie monster has his large fist in there all the time.  :-))
A great cook is one who can rustle up a fabulous family meal with some freezer burnt chops, wilted carrots, sprouting potatoes and cabbage that's gone brown on the cut edges.

These are wonderful biscuits!  I made some of these a while back, and accidentally used goji berries instead of cranberries, and they were really nice too.
