Blackberry and White Chocolate Cookies

These are a super fruity alternative to a regular chocolate chip. So easy to make and even easier to devour the entire batch, these are a fantastic treat! Make on a Sunday to have cookies for a few delicious days! Jammy, fruity and full of white chocolate - just a few of my favourite things! 
Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 15 minutes
Chill Time 30 minutes
Total Time 1 hour
Servings: 8

Ingredients
  

  • 125 g Unsalted Butter Melted
  • 120 g Light Brown Soft Sugar
  • 100 g Granulated Sugar
  • 1 Medium Free Range Egg
  • 2 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 275 g Plain Flour
  • 3 tsp Baking Powder
  • 150 g White Chocolate Roughly Chopped/Chips
For the Jam Topping
  • 300 g Blackberries Fresh or Frozen
  • 50 g Granulated Sugar
  • 2 tbsp Lemon Juice
  • 3 tbsp Cornflour (Cornstarch)

Method
 

  1. In a large bowl, using an electric/stand mixer (or hand whisk, just double/triple the times) combine the butter and both sugars on medium speed for several minutes, until fully combined. Add the egg and vanilla and mix again.
  2. Add the flour, baking powder, white chocolate and fold until combined. The dough should be fairly solid at this stage (it ought to almost form a ball, albeit a very soft one!). 
  3. Cover and chill in the fridge at least 30 minutes.
  4. Preheat the oven to 200C/180C Fan/Gas 6. Line 2-3 large baking trays. Roll into about 12 balls (use a tablespoon to scoop balls of dough). Place on lined baking sheets. Bake 10-12 minutes, until just golden at the edges.
  5. Once removed, use a mug or bowl to press in the centre of the cookies - essentially creating a 'crust' around the edge and a dimple in the middle that the jam can go in without spilling!
Make the Jam
  1. Add the blackberries, lemon juice and sugar in a small saucepan over a medium/high heat. Stir until bubbling (only a few minutes), then add the cornstarch and stir - it should thicken a little. Cook a few more minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool.
  2. Spoon this jam into the dimples in the cookies once relatively cool (doesn't need to be fully cold) and add any decorations (I add little white chocolate chips).
