Strawberry, white chocolate and macadamia nut cookies
Print Recipe
A tin of white chocolate chip cookies
Prep Time:10 minutes
Cook Time:12 minutes

Ingredients

  • 300 grams white chocolate cut up into chunks - big and small
  • 100 grams butter
  • 1 large egg
  • 50 grams muscovado sugar Or demerara
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 180 grams cake or all-purpose flour or 1 1/4 cup
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 85 grams caster sugar
  • 50-70 grams dried strawberries
  • 50 -70 grams macadamia nuts chopped

Instructions

  • Melt 85gms of the chocolate in a double boiler, then cool a little
  • Beat butter, egg, sugars and vanilla with an electric beater until creamy
  • Beat in the melted chocolate
  • Stir in the flour, baking powder, strawberries, nuts and remaining chocolate to make a stiff dough
  • Using a tablespoon measure, drop small mounds well spaced on a lined baking sheet (silicone baking sheets work really well)
  • You could also reserve some of the nuts, berries and chocolate pieces and place these into the cookies after they are on the tray so they poke out (extra pretty)
  • Bake for 12 minutes
  • Allow to cool for 1 -2 minutes then put on a cooling rack (this is quite important as they carry over cooking quite a bit after baking and can go a bit too brown if left on the baking pan)

Notes

You could double up and freeze the already-formed cookie discs for later use.
You can also freeze the baked cookies.
