Cranberry and white chocolate cookies

So I was thinking yesterday about what I would like to bake today. Friday is always my go to day to bake goodies and I was having a bit of trouble deciding. I just happened to be sitting in a waiting room, reading old magazines waiting patiently and kinda anxiously on my first mammogram. Fast forward 10 mins and some sore boobs later and I knew what I was going to bake, Cranberry and white chocolate cookies. Im not sure if it was my boobs being squashed flat which gave me the idea but here I am enjoying them (the cookies that is) so win win for me. This recipe has been adapted over the years but its my go to "god damn that's a good cookie" recipe and can be adapted for whatever flavors you want. This recipe makes about 20 fairly large biscuits but i usually freeze half for another day. 


 What you will need:

265g Plain flour (sifted)
220g Light brown sugar
220g Unsalted butter (softened)
1 teaspoon Vanilla essence
2 Large eggs
1.5 teaspoons baking powder
Pinch of salt
100g White chocolate chips
100g Dried Cranberries

What to do:

  1. In a large bowl beat the butter and sugar until pale and fluffy.
  2. Add vanilla to eggs and beat into butter and sugar mixture a little at a time. 
  3. Add the Flour, salt and baking powder and mix until well combined.
  4. Add in the chocolate chips and dried cranberries and mix well.
  5. At this point you can spoon ( I use an ice-cream scoop) to portion out the biscuits on baking paper or you can half the recipe and freeze in a log shape. When you want to bake them just cut frozen slices from the log (removing the clingfilm) and bake as normal.
  6. Bake your cookies at 180C for 10-18 mins depending on size. Cookies should be golden and slightly soft. Try your best to allow cool for 5 mins before eating.
