Who else is trying out new recipes?
Now is the time to do something that you normally don’t have time for. I had these white chocolate chips that were close to their use-by date so I went looking for a recipe to use them up. I came across this recipe in one of my mum’s old cookbooks. I didn’t have walnuts so I swapped them out for pistachios.
WHITE CHOCOLATE AND WALNUT COOKIES
250g plain flour, 1 1/2 teasp baking powder, 1/4 teasp salt, 125g softened butter, 60ml vegetable oil, 150g brown sugar, 1 large egg, 1/2 teasp vanilla, 180g white choc chips, 100g walnuts.
Combine the flour, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl. Beat the butter, oil and brown sugar in a large bowl until creamy.
Add egg and vanilla, beating until blended. Mix in the dry ingredients, chocolate chips and walnuts.
Form the dough into a 18 cm long log, wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 190C. Grease two trays. Slice the dough 5mm thick and place 5 cm apart on prepared trays.
Bake for 8-10 minutes until golden at the edges. Cool on baking trays until firm, then transfer to cooling racks. Makes 24 to 28 cookies.
