Ingredients:

1/2 cup butter

1/2 cup white sugar

1 egg

1/2 tsp vanilla

1 cup flour

1/4 tsp salt

1/4 cup chopped walnut

200g ground peanut

Preheat oven to 180 degree C.

1, Cream butter with sugar till light and creamy.

2, Beat in egg and stir in vanilla.

3, Add in flour, salt and baking soda. Mix till just combined.

4, Add in ground peanut and chopped walnut. You can adjust walnut and ground peanut according to your preference. I used the ground peanut bought from local supermarket. It already contains sugar and some white sesame, so You can add more sugar if you are using plain ground peanut.

5. I put the dough covered into fridge for about 30 mins before baking.

6, Divide dough into smaller ones and arrange on baking tray.

7, Into the oven and bake for 12-15 mins.

White Chocolate Cranberry Cookies

Leave a comment

The original recipe:

http://naturallyella.com/2010/02/08/white-chocolate-cranberry-cookies-and-a-great-weekend/

I changed it a bit.

Butter 170g

1 cup dark brown sugar ( you can also use light brown sugar)

1/4 cup white sugar

1/4 tsp vanilla

3/4 tsp baking soda

1/4 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp salt

1 egg

2 1/4 cup flour

2 cup white chocolate

1 cup dried cranberries

1. Preheat oven to 190 degree C.

2. Cream butter with brown sugar & white sugar till light and fluffy.

3. Add in vanilla, baking powder, salt, baking powder and egg one after another.

4. Add in flour. Mix till just combine.

5. Fold in white chocolate chips and dried cranberries.

6. Place small dough balls on baking tray and bake for 12 mins.

Cookies are soft and white chocolate melted. Actually, I already reduced sugar. But these cookies are still a little too sweet for me. So if you don’t want them to be very sweet, you can also use less sugar.
