I love to make cookies, traybakes or any other sweet treat for my friends and family- hopefully they like them too 🙂 The first time i made these particular ones was for the golden jubilee last year and one of my neighbours loved them so much he actually requested a batch a few days later, so i know they are a winner 🙂
So tonight i’m staying at my nans house and thought what to make this time??
Although my gramps proclaims not to have a sweet tooth, he doesn’t seem to mind munching his way through what i make 🙂 … but anyway this is what came to mind.
A really tasty, can’t stop eating the, cookie. A slightly different texture than a normal chocolate chipper because of the cornflour in the custard powder, but just as delicious!! Give it ago a see what you think.
Custard and white chocolate biscuits
140g soft salted butter
175g granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
225g spelt flour or the same amount of self raising flour (just skip the baking powder if you use that)
2 tsp baking powder
85g custard powder
100g white chocolate chunks
Preheat oven to 170’c and line a 2 baking trays with greaseproof paper.
Cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the vanilla and egg and continue to mix until combined.
Then sift in the flour, baking powder (if using) and the custard powder. The mix will start to get quite firm then and crumbly (see the picture above)
If you start to find it to hard to mix with a spoon use your hands to bring it together into a dough. Then add the white chocolate chunks.
Roll into golf ball sized balls and place onto a tray about 2 inches apart. Flatten slightly with your hand and bake for 12mins turning halfway. the will look pale but resist putting back into the oven as the will continue cooking on the tray. after a few mins transfer to a wire rack to cool completly, if you can!!
Enjoy. xxx
