Course: Dessert
Cuisine: American

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

    Cup of Yum
  1. Melt 85gms of the chocolate in a double boiler, then cool a little
  2. Beat butter, egg, sugars and vanilla with an electric beater until creamy
  3. Beat in the melted chocolate
  4. Stir in the flour, baking powder, strawberries, nuts and remaining chocolate to make a stiff dough
  5. Using a tablespoon measure, drop small mounds well spaced on a lined baking sheet (silicone baking sheets work really well)
  6. 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)
  7. Bake for 12 minutes
  8. 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.
