Strawberry and White Chocolate Cookies

Divide and conquer seemed to be the only way to get through this afternoon. Boys seemed to be on a mission to see who could wind each other up the most today. On reflection, it may not have been the best idea to leave Mini Monster and Daddy at home with freshly baked cookies (both have the biscuit gene) cooling on a tray…


This made 13 (bakers dozen means there is always one for me to 'test' in each batch), we came home to a measly 4! They had been tidied away in a tin to hide the evidence...

100g Dairy and Soya Free Spread (Pure/Vitalite etc)
60g Caster Sugar
1 tsp Vanilla Paste (or extract)
A FewDrops Of Rose Water (optional) - strong taste, not everyone likes it…
1tbsp Honey (or syrup)
1/2 -1 tbsp milk substitute (depending on flour blend used)
150g Self Raising or Wheat Free Self Raising Flour
2g (about 1/3 of a 7g tube) Freeze Dried Strawberries


Whisk Spread, Sugar, Honey, Vanilla and Rose Water (if using) until well combined and paler in colour.

Mix in the Flour and Dried Strawberries.

Add a little milk substitute if mix looks too dry.


Use a tablespoon (or cookie scoop) and roll into balls.
Flatten slightly as they don't really spread.

Bake for 12 minutes at 170ÂșC

Remove from oven and leave to cool for a minute.

Top with about 1/2 tbsp White Couverture Powder.

Spread out with the back of the spoon.

Leave to melt.

Allow time to set before eating.

Enjoy.

Hide them from children and husband so you can eat them yourself...
