Chewy White Chocolate & Sultana Cookies

This unusual combination of white chocolate and sultanas is excellent. Chewy and decadent. Not the sort of recipe you’d hope to bake regularly though. It’s the sort of recipe that makes your taste buds dance to the rhythm of the sugar rush.

  • Preparation Tips: As soon as you get the cookies out of the oven they will have a soft texture to the touch, but once they cool down they will become hard and crunchy.

Cookie dough

  • 215 g light brown sugar
  • 90 g caster sugar
  • 2 free range eggs (M)
  • 50 ml golden syrup
  • 1 tsp vanilla paste
  • 50 g unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 tsp of salt
  • 230 g plain flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 100 g white chocolate
  • 100 g sultanas

Preparation

  1. Preheat the oven to 170 °C.
  2. In a bowl mix the sugars, eggs, golden syrup and vanilla paste. Add in the melted butter and a pinch of salt.
  3. Pour in the flour and baking soda mixed together.
  4. Add the chopped white chocolate and sultanas and mix until combined. Keep in the fridge for 20 min.
  5. Cover a baking tray with parchment paper.
  6. Using an ice cream spoon, evenly distribute the cookie dough onto the prepared baking tray, leaving room (2 cm) for the cookies to spread.
  7. Bake on the top shelf of the oven for 8 – 10 min or until golden.
  8. Leave the cookies to cool for a few minutes on the tray, then turn out the cookies onto a wire rack to cool completely.
