Ingredients
- 125 g butter, softened
- 75 g demerara sugar
- 75 g granulated sugar
- 1 free-range egg
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
- 200 g plain flour, sifted
- 1/2 tsp bicarbonate of soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp cinnnamon
- 100 g chocolate chunks
- 100 g dried fruits (cherries, sultanas)
- 100 g white chocolate
Instructions
1
Preheat the oven to 210°C/Gas Mark 6. Line a baking sheet.
2
Cream together the butter and sugars by hand, then stir in the egg and vanilla extract.
3
Combine the flour, bicarbonate of soda, salt and cinnamon in a bowl, then gradually add to the butter mixture. Stir in the chocolate chunks and dried fruits.
4
Use 2 teaspoons to create walnut-sized portions of cookie dough on the baking sheet.
5
Bake the cookies for 8-10 minutes. Let them rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, before transferring the cookies to a cooling rack to firm up. They will stay chewy on the inside, but crispy on the outside.

To decorate_the cookies, melt the white chocolate over a bain-marie, then transfer the melted chocolate to a piping bag. Draw a cross-shape on top of each cookie, to finish.
