If you like American-style cookies, you'll love these pale, chewy delights. Plus, they can be baked from frozen

Provided by Jane Hornby

Categories     Afternoon tea, Treat

Time 30m

Yield Makes 20 large cookies

Number Of Ingredients 8

200g unsalted butter , at room temperature
85g light muscovado sugar
85g golden caster sugar
1 egg
225g self-raising flour
50g plain chocolate , 50-70% cocoa, roughly chopped
50g white chocolate , roughly chopped
85g natural colour glacé cherry , roughly chopped

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 190C/fan 170C/gas 5. Beat the butter, sugars and egg until smooth, then mix in the flour, chocolates and cherry pieces and ½ tsp salt. Spoon onto non-stick baking sheets in large rough blobs - you'll get 20 out of this mix. Make sure they are well spaced as the cookies grow substantially as they bake. The raw dough can be frozen.
  • Bake for 12-14 mins until just golden, but still quite pale and soft in the middle. If baking from frozen, give them a few mins more. Cool on the sheets for 5 mins, then lift onto racks with a fish slice and leave to cool completely.
