Servings: 25 pieces
Equipment
- Handheld mixer
- Spatula
- Mixing bowls.
- Baking trays
- Cookie scoop.
Ingredients
- 7.05 ounces salted butter softened.
- 1 ¾ cups plain flour/ all-purpose flour.
- 3.53 ounces caster sugar.
- 1 egg yolk lightly beaten.
- 2 teaspoons orange juice.
- ½ teaspoon bicarbonate of soda/ baking soda optional (see the note).
- ¾ cup dried cranberries.
- ½ cup white chocolate chips.
Instructions
- Using a handheld mixer, cream the butter until light and fluffy.
- Add the sugar into the butter little by little as you keep whisking until the sugar dissolves.
- Pour the egg yolk into the butter mixture followed with the orange juice, and continue whisking until you have a smooth mixture.
- Sieve the flour and bicarbonate of soda/ baking soda (if using) into the butter mixture. Using a spatula gently fold the mixture until all is combined.
- Add the white chocolate chips and the dried cranberries respectively. Mix well after each addition.
- Preheat the oven at gas 4/ 180° C/ 350° F.
- Prepare your baking tray and line with greaseproof paper/ parchment paper.
- Spoon the dough and shape it into a small ball. Place the cookie dough balls on a lined baking tray and space them well apart. Work through until all the dough is finished. Press the dough balls lightly with the back of a spoon until the dough is around ½ inch in thickness.
- Bake at gas 4/ 180° C/ 350° F for 12-15 minutes if you want chewy cookies and about 20-25 minutes if you want scrumptiously crumbly cookies.
Notes
- You can omit the bicarbonate of soda/ baking soda if you prefer your cookies to feel crumbly and a little crispy. To achieve this you bake them for about 20-25 minutes until the cookies are fully cooked and look slightly golden.
- If you want soft and chewy cookies, you can add the baking soda and cut down the baking time to 12-15 minutes. The cookies will be firm to touch but soft on the inside.
