Guide

CRANBERRY AND WHITE CHOCOLATE COOKIES

  1. Set the oven to 175 ℃/347F.
  2. Cut the butter into small pieces and let it soften to room temperature. You can also soften the butter in the microwave but be careful with it to avoid melting too much: place the pieces of butter in microwave-proof bowl and melt maximum 10 seconds at a time, stirring each time. Stop as soon as the butter has softened so that it could be used for buttering a bread.
  3. Add the brown butter, powder, and vanilla sugar to the soft butter and whisk with the electric mixer at full power to a frothy foam (about 5 minutes). If you are using a food processor, scrape the foam off from the edges.
  4. Separate the egg yolk into a glass. Add the yolk to the dough and stir gently, but do not beat anymore. Then add a whole egg and vanilla extract.
  5. Mix the wheat flour, corn starch, salt and baking soda together and add to the butter and sugar mixture in a few batches, stirring with a scraper.
  6. Crumble white chocolate and cranberries into small pieces and mix in the dough.
  7. Shape the dough into balls (Ø approx. 3 cm/1 inch) and bake for about 10 minutes. Don't bake the cookies too long so that they remain wonderfully soft in the middle.
