These Raspberry and White Chocolate Chunk Cookies look fabulous
at Christmas with their festive colours - and they taste great too!
The secret is adding the condensed milk which gives you the most wonderful texture – crisp outside and soft centred. You can freeze the dough (without the raspberries) if you would like to get them ready in advance. Of course you could substitute cranberries for the raspberries, too (and we have more combinations suggested below).
Preparation time: 10 minutes
Cooking time: 15-18 minutes
Ingredients:
225g (8oz) unsalted butter, softened
225g (8oz) caster sugar
170g tube Carnation Condensed Milk
350g (12oz) self-raising flour
150g (5½oz) white chocolate, chopped
175g punnet raspberries
Method:
Preheat the oven to 180 °C, 350 °F, Gas Mark 4.
- In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar, until pale and then stir in the condensed milk.
- Sift in the flour and then work into a soft dough with your hands.
- Mix in the chocolate.
- Take a small handful of dough and flatten with your fingers.
- Place 2-3 raspberries into the centre of the cookie and fold over the sides of the dough to encase the raspberries. Repeat with the remaining dough.
- Place onto parchment lined baking trays, spacing well apart and bake for about 15-18 minutes or until golden brown at the edges, but still a little soft.
- Leave to cool slightly and set before transferring to a cooling rack.
·Makes about 20-30 cookies (depends on the size)
Tips
- The dough without the raspberries will keep in the fridge for 2-3 days or for about 1 month in the freezer – freeze in small slightly flattened chunks and bake as required!·
