Christmas Cookies with White Chocolate & Lingonberry Powder

Christmas Cookies with White Chocolate & Lingonberry Powder

In this recipe, we have added organic lingonberry powder for natural colouring and white chocolate for a twist on the Christmas season. The lingonberry powder gives the cookies a delicate red colour that looks magical on the table at Christmas, and the combination of lingonberries and white chocolate offers a good balance of sweet and sour. These big, delicious, soft cookies, crispy on the edges and chewy in the middle, taste heavenly.

Ingredients 

Servings: 25 cookies

270 g wheat flour

1/2 tsp baking soda

230 g unsalted butter, room temperature

100 g sugar

200 g brown sugar

3/4 tsp salt

2 tsp pure vanilla extract

2 large eggs

2–3 tsp lingonberry powder

300g white chocolate chips


Instructions

 

  • Preheat the oven to 170°C. Line a baking tray with baking paper.

  • Whisk the flour, salt, and baking soda together in a bowl, then set aside.

  • Beat the butter and sugar in a stand mixer on high speed until light and fluffy.
    Then add the brown sugar and continue mixing until well combined.

  • Add the vanilla extract, then beat in the eggs one at a time, scraping down the bowl one last time.

  • Add the flour mixture and mix on low speed until almost combined. 

  • Then add the white chocolate chips. If you want white chocolate chips on top, save a handful for decoration.

  • Place 2 tablespoons of dough 7.5 cm apart on the baking trays. Bake at 170°C for approx. 10 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. 

If you also prefer chocolate chips on top, bake for 8 minutes. Place the chocolate chips on top and bake for a further 2–3 minutes.
