Cookies...I genuinely don't think you get any better than rustling up a fresh batch of homemade warm chewy cookies. Millies cookies are probably the best out there in my opinion and truly I wouldn't even try to compete with making ones similar, however I did give it a go with these warm strawberry and white chocolate cookies and boy did they taste good!
This recipe is just a standard white chocolate cookie recipe only I added the chopped up strawberries for a fruity and sweet change that sets these apart from any other cookies.
Ingredients: (makes 20 cookies)
225g Plain Flour
1/2tsp of Salt
1/2tsp of Baking Powder
1 Egg
65g of Granulated Sugar
60g of Light Brown Sugar
1tsp of Vanilla Paste/Extract
115g of Unsalted Butter
250g of Strawberries (hulled and chopped)
150g of White Chocolate Chips
Equipment:
Scales
x2 bowls
Wooden Spoon
Baking Tray
Greaseproof or Baking Paper
Cooling Rack
Method:
1. Pre-heat your oven to 190 degrees, gas mark 5 or 375 degrees F. Start by putting your flour, salt and baking powder in a bowl and stir till it is mixed together. Set aside for later.
2. In another bowl, weigh out your butter.
3. To the butter add both kinds of sugar and cream together till soft and pale. If you are struggling to mix these together, place the mix in the microwave for 10 seconds to help the process.
4. Now crack in your egg and measure out your vanilla paste, I use the paste as is much stronger however extract works just as well. Mix till everything is incorporated.
5. Now you have the wet mixture, you can gently add your dry mix, stirring until all the flour has been incorporated.
6. Now get your clean strawberries and chop them into small pieces ready to be added to the dough.
7. Add your chocolate chips too, I use white chocolate chips but if milk or dark are more your thing use them.
8. Mix till the strawberries and the chocolate are fully combined. It's okay if your strawberries get crushed, this makes them look better in the end.
9. Get your baking sheet and line it with greaseproof paper.
10. Take small amounts of the dough, about 1 tbsp worth and put blobs of it on the baking sheet. Place these well apart as they will spread a bit.
11. Squish them down slightly with a spoon so that they bake evenly and you have a nice thin cookie.
12. Bake for 10-12 minutes until the tops are nice and golden but still soft underneath.
13. Leave them to cool on the baking sheets completely before transferring them to a wire rack.
14. They should be nice and soft on the bottom which means when they cool down, they will be crisp on the outside but nice and chewy in the middle.
15. To serve, I placed these in a tub with some greaseproof paper so that it kept them fresh. These should keep for 2-3 days in a air tight container.
And that...is it. Again, another really simple recipe but if done well is really effective. These cookies are so nice to be ate warm or cold. The strawberries almost turn into a jam and the white chocolate gives these cookies an indulgent taste.
I hope you've enjoyed this recipe and if you do make these at home, be sure to let me know as I love hearing how they've turned out or take a snap of them and send them to any of my social media links above.
Thanks for reading as ever,
Luke.
