White Chocolate and Cherry Cookies

White chocolate and cherry cookies:
200g softened butter
85g light muscavado sugar
85g golden caster sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 egg
225g self raising flour
100 g chopped white chocolate
85g glace cherries

Preheat the oven to 190 degrees C.


Cream the butter and sugars together -

cream them!!!

Add the vanilla extract and mix again, then add the egg and beat thoroughly.
Sift the flour into the bowl and partially combine the ingredients.



Add the chocolate and the cherries, and mix until just combined. Try not to over work the mixture.


Using a pair of teaspoons scoop dollops of the cookie dough...

onto greased, lined baking trays...


 Don't put too many cookies on the tray, as they do expand during baking. They pretty well double in size.
Look at that cookie-doughy goodness!  



Bake for approximately 15 minutes (or until golden)



Remove from the oven, but leave on the trays for about 5 minutes to firm up, before putting them on wire racks to cool.
(or, if you're anything like me, take the photo and eat them while they're deliciously warm!)
