White Chocolate Cranberry Cookies
Ingredients
- 190g margarine or vegan butter
- 170g caster sugar
- 1 and 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 large tsp golden syrup
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 225g plain flour
- 45g dried cranberries
- 40g white chocolate
Preparation
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees and line a baking tray
Add the sugar and margarine or butter to a mixing bowl and cream together
Add the remaining ingredients apart from the cranberries and white chocolate to the bowl and mix until a dough ball has formed, using hands if easier
Add the cranberries and white chocolate and mix in
If making small cookies, tear off a walnut-sized piece, roll into a ball, place on the baking tray, and squash slightly, then repeat for all dough and bake for 12-15 minutes
Alternatively, for a large cookie, take a chunk larger than a tennis ball, roll into a ball, place in the center of a baking tray, squash slightly, and bake for 20-25 minutes, using remaining dough for small cookies as described
Remove from oven when done, noting that cookies may not look fully baked
Tips
Sugar continues cooking after removal from the oven, so remove cookies even if they appear slightly underdone
