Gooey Chocolate Cherry Cookies

If you like American Style Cookies, you'll love these pale, chewy delights, plus they can be baked from frozen.

 

Prep Time: 15minutes

Cook Time: 14minutes

 

Ingredients

 

200g Unsalted Butter (At room temperature)

85g Light Muscovado Sugar

85g Golden Caster Sugar

1 Egg

225g Self Raising Flour

50g Plain Chocolate (50-70% Cocoa Roughly Chopped)

50g White Chocolate  (Roughly Chopped)

85g Natural Colour Glace Cherries (Roughly Chopped)

1/2 tsp Salt

 

Method

 

Heat the oven to 190C/Fan 170C or Gas Mark 5.

Beat the butter, Sugars and Egg until smooth, then mix in the flour, chocolates and cherry pieces and 1/2 tsp salt.

Spoon onto non-stick baking sheets in large rough blobs - you'll get about 20 out of this mix.

Make sure they are well spaced as the cookies grow substantially as they bake.

The raw dough can be frozen at this time if needed.

Bake for 12 - 14 minutes until just golden, but still quite pale and soft in the middle.

If baking from frozen, give them a dew more minutes to be able to defrost.

Cool on the sheets for 5 minutes, then lift them on to racks and leave to completely cool.
