KBB #7 The Baking - White Chocolate and Cranberry Cookies

Here is another entry of mine for KBB first birthday. I chose this recipe is just simply, I love white chocolate. I have to share them with you guys here eventhough it's only virtual sharing. The cookies are soft in the centre and crispy on the edge. Yum....

The recipe is adapted from Crave: A passion for chocolate by Maureen McKeen.


Ingredients:
230 g unsalted butter, room temperature
130 g brown sugar
100 g caster sugar

2 extra large eggs
1.5 tsp vanilla essence
0.25 tsp salt

310 g all purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder

100 g white chocolate chips, Callebaut
100 g chopped dried cranberries, Ocean Spray
150 g chopped cashew nuts


Methods:
Cream butter and sugar with a mixer at medium speed until light and fluffy.

Beat eggs, vanilla and salt to combine. Add egg to butter mixture in three parts. Beat each addition with a mixer at medium low speed until combined before adding some more egg mixture.

Sift flour and baking soda to the butter mixture. Fold in the flour.

Add chocolate, cranberries and chocolate to the mixture. Blend in. Put in the fridge for 15 minutes.

Preheat oven to 160 deg C and line 2 baking trays with a parchment paper.

Place a scoop of the mixture to the baking tray. Give enough space for spreading. Bake at 160-170 deg C for 15-17 minutes. Place the tray at the middle rack.

Keep the remaining batch in the fridge while waiting.
