Makes 20 large cookies
Preparation Time: 5 minutes Cooking time: 10-14 minutes
Everyone will these pale, chewy delights! Fast, fabulous and freezer friendly!
Ingredients
200g unsalted butter , at room temperature
85g brown sugar
85g caster sugar
1 egg
225g self-raising flour
˝ teaspoon salt
50g plain chocolate , 50-70% cocoa
50g white chocolate
85g cranberries
How to
1. Heat oven to 190C/fan 170C. Line two baking trays with baking paper.
2. Put white and dark chocolate in TM bowl and blitz for a couple of seconds until roughly chopped. Set aside.
3. Add the butter, sugars and egg to TM bowl and mix on speed 6 for 1 minute. Scrape bowl and lid.
4. Add the flour. Set the dial to *: and mix for 30 seconds on i ::.
5. Add the chocolate cranberries and salt. Mix for 20 seconds on :-: and ^^.
6. Spoon onto non-stick baking sheets in large rough blobs (about the size of a dessertspoon) - you'll get about 20 out of this mix.
7. Make sure they are really well spaced as the cookies spread as they bake. The raw dough can be frozen.
8. Bake for 10-14 minutes until just golden, but still quite pale and soft in the middle. If baking from frozen, give them a few minutes more.
9. Cool on the baking trays for 5 minutes, then lift onto racks and leave to cool completely.
Other info
TIP! Try swapping the cranberries for nuts or even more chocolate.
To freeze the dough, place blobs of the mixture into a tupperware or onto a baking tray and place in the freezer. When the mixture has firmed up, put the frozen blobs into a ziploc bag. Now you’ll never be without a cookie when you need one!

You can't resist! Especially when there's two types of chocolate, so you cover all bases!

I also have a thyroid condition. Nowhere near the severity of yours though. You are an inspiration xxxx

I just went to make these and forgot that I have run out of cranberries. Shopping tomorrow, or maybe I will go to the shops. :D

Thanks so much, Dizzy Girl! As I don't have a thyroid, I wonder if I have a thyroid condition? ;D Hope you're holding up! It's amazing how such a little piece of physical equipment, can have such a massive effect on the body! I'm going to do a post soon on some really cool thyroid blogs! Prepare to be inspired... and eat cookies! :)

I have hashimotos disease. I don't take thyroxine as I find healthy eating is better than medicine.
-
My ex SIL has Hashimotos disease and she takes thyroxine. Are you able to manage it with diet DG? I didn't know that. Well done.
-
Yep cookie, since we got rid of all nasties in our diet my thyroid function has improved. I still have the occasional bad day where my thyroid is being attacked. Most of the time I am fine.
-
Wow that's amazing DG! Good on ya! Apparently, I had Hashimoto's for years but didn't know - they only found out after my thyroidectomy for the cancer. The good thing is that I am used to being tired all the time, so life on thyroxine hasn't been such a big adjustment! Like you, I've tried to clean up my diet (still a work in progress). I don't have a choice or a problem with the thyroxine, it's a no brainer, I'd rather pop pills for all my days than have Cancer!
-
BTW Cookie, the cranberries aren't essential - you can chuck in some nuts, or extra chocolate instead! ;D

So true annoyed thyroid. I always forget to take mine. I am hopeless like that.
