Cherry and Cranberry White Chocolate Cookies



There is nothing more gratifying than making your own biscuits and these are one of my many favorites, perfect with a cup of tea or, for those under the tea drinking age, a glass of milk.
The oats make these treats extremely chewy and they feel convincingly healthy.

I always double the recipe as guests love a goodie bag!

140g plain flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
75g rolled oats
125g soft unsalted butter
75g dark brown sugar
100g castor sugar
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
75g dried cranberrys and cherrys
50g pecans, roughly chopped
140g white chocolate chips


Preheat oven to 180 degrees

Measure out the flour, baking powder, salt and rolled oats into a bowl.


Put the butter and sugars into a bowl and beat until lights and creamy


Then beat in the eggs and vanilla


Beat in the flour, baking powder, salt and oats then fold in the berries, chopped pecans and chocolate chips


Set the bowl of biscuit dough in the fridge for 15 minutes.

 Roll tablespoons of dough into the palm of your hand and place on a lined baking tray

Cook for 15 minutes or until cookies appear golden, remove from aven and let sit for 5 minutes as they will be too soft to lift immediately. then place onto a wire rack, and repeat process.
