Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup (80g) crystallized ginger, chopped into small pieces
  • 1 cup (150g) dried cranberries
  • 1 cup (200g) white chocolate chips/chunks
  • 2 cups (280g) plain flour
  • 1/2 cup (70g) bread flour
  • 1 tbsp cornflour
  • 1 1/2 tsp bicarbonate of soda
  • Pinch salt
  • 3/4 cup (150g) light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup (100g) caster sugar
  • 1 3/4 sticks (200g) unsalted butter, at room temperature
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  • No need to preheat the oven yet, this dough needs to chill!
  • Place the ginger, cranberries and chocolate chips into a medium sized bowl and stir briefly. Add in the flours, bicarb and salt and stir until all the chocolate etc. is coated in flour. Leave to one side.
  • Place the sugars and butter into a large bowl or the bowl of your stand mixer and beat until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes on med-high speed.
  • Add in the eggs and vanilla extract, scraping sides as necessary, and mix until well incorporated, about 1 minute on med-high speed.
  • Tip in the flour mix and mix on low until a soft dough forms.
  • Tip the dough into a medium sized bowl, cover with cling film and place in the fridge for at least 6 hours, over night if possible.
  • Once chilled, preheat oven to 180C/350F and line 3 baking trays.
  • Using a 1.5tbsp cookie scoop, place dough balls 2 inches apart, flatten dough balls ever so slightly with a clean hand.
  • Place in the oven for 9-11 minutes, until risen, golden around the edges and still soft in the middle. You want them to have a slight sheen when the light of the oven hits them, not be sunken and greasy looking (that means they're not quite done!).
  • Leave to cool on the trays completely, then keep in an airtight container, at room temperature for 5 days.
