300gm white chocolatecut up into chunks - big and small
100gm butter
1egg
50gm muscovado / brown sugar
1tspvanilla extract
180gmor 1 1/4 cup flour
1tspbaking powder
85gm caster sugar
50gm dried cranberries
50gm pecan nuts choppedor macadamia nuts or others could work
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 180C/350F
melt 85gms of the choc in a double boiler, then cool a little
beat butter, egg, sugars and vanilla with an electric beater until creamy
beat in the melted choc
stir in the flour, baking powder, cranberries, 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)
You could double up and freeze the already formed cookie discs for later use.
Notes
These cookies keep for a few days in a sealed container.
