Ingredients

Switch to Cup Measures
  • 100 grams butter
  • 140 grams brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon corn syrup (or golden syrup)
  • 1 egg (straight out of the fridge)
  • 200 grams plain flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 pinch of salt
  • ½ vanilla pod (seeds only, or 1 packet of vanilla sugar)
  • 200 grams white chocolate (chips or finely chopped)

Method

  1. In a bowl over a pan of simmering water melt the butter, brown sugar and syrup. In another bowl mix the flour, salt, vanilla and baking powder. Beat the egg into the butter mixture, followed by the flour mix. Cool in the fridge for an hour while the oven preheats to 175°C. Line two baking sheets with baking parchment.
  2. Into the cooled dough mix the chocolate chips. With gloved hands shape walnut-sized balls out of the dough, place them on the baking sheets and flatten them slightly. Be careful to leave space between them, about an inch or 3 cm should be enough.
  3. Bake for 12-15 min. They should look done but still be soft. Don't place the baking sheet too high in the oven, or the white chocolate might catch. A bit of caramelization is expected and desired but burned chocolate isn't a nice thing.
  4. After taking the cookies out of the oven, leave them on the baking sheet for 2 min, then transfer to a cooling rack.
