Ingredients

  • 150 g butter, softened (⅔ cup)
  • 130 g caster sugar (⅔ cup)
  • 100 g soft light brown sugar (½ cup) or dark brown sugar
  • 1 Medium egg
  • 1 Teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 250 g self-raising flour (2 cups)
  • 1+½ Teaspoons ground ginger
  • 1+½ Teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 100 g white chocolate chunks or chips (⅔ cup)

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat your oven to 180°C/350℉ (160°C/325℉ for fan and convection ovens). Then line a large tray or two with baking paper.
  2. Add the softened butter to a bowl with the caster sugar and brown sugar. Mix well to make a thick paste.
  3. Add the egg and vanilla extract then mix until smooth.
  4. Add all of the self-raising flour, the ginger and the cinnamon and mix it in. When it starts to come together, use your hands to press it into a ball of dough.
  5. Add the white chocolate chunks, saving a few for the top, and gently knead them into the dough with your hands.
  6. Divide the dough into 12 equal-sized pieces and roll into balls. Lightly press them down until around 1 inch thick.
  7. Place the cookies on the tray, leaving a couple of inches between them to allow for spreading. Around 4-5 per tray works best.
  8. Top with extra chunks of white chocolate.
  9. Bake for 11-12 minutes until they're just turning golden brown at the edges. They will look underbaked in the middle but resist the urge to keep baking- they will firm up as they cool.
  10. Let the cookies cool completely before removing them from the tray.

Notes

  • If the dough is too sticky, add more flour. If it’s too dry, add a splash of milk.
  • Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
