Cookie Mad: White Chocolate & Plum Cookies

I cant quite decide what I prefer: making cookies, inventing recipes, or actually eating them. They are one of my favourite treats which are always so moreish. I have to admit to a few times driving 20 minutes to the supermarket to buy a bag of 5 double chocolate cookies and eating all of them on the 20 minute drive home, they are so addictive!

These days when I have a cookie craving I tend to get cooking ASAP and I can devoir more delicious cookies and a larger batch of them at that!

I have recently been trying out some more adventurous cookie combinations and this recipe was most definitely one of my most adventurous, I wasn't sure the flavours would go together but the sweetness of the white chocolate went so well with the soft and moist plums. The plums gave the cookies a fantastic texture, very moist and perfectly doughy.
This recipe is quite seasonal, very Christmassy, this season welcomes spiced plums in many deserts, so this may just be a Christmas treat to add to your list!

White Chocolate & Plum Cookies

100g of white chocolate chips

1 egg

125g granulated sugar

125g Plain Flour

 75g Butter (melted)

50g Tinned Plums

• Preheat the oven to 195oc and prepare two baking trays with greaseproof paper.
• In a large mixing bowl combine the sugar and the flour, then crack the egg into the mixture and stir.
• Add the chocolate chips and the plums.
• Now add the butter and mix well.
• Using teaspoons, create small balls with the mixture, no bigger than a ping pong ball. The mixture will be pretty sticky, place 6 on each tray spreading out evening.
• Once you have dished out the mixture, flatten the balls slightly with a fork.
• Bake for 12 minutes until golden.
  
  
  

  
  

These cookies are amazing warm, so get in there as soon as they come out of the oven, they are so hard to resist. Why not try a couple in a bowl with a scoop of ice cream, trust me its amazing!
