Red, white and blue American cookies

Ingredients:

200g light brown sugar

100g caster sugar

250g unsalted butter, softened

2 eggs

1 tsp vanilla

400g plain flour

录 tsp baking powder

75g dried cranberries

575 white chocolate chips

50g blueberries

1. Cream the butter and sugar until very pale and fluffy-about 4 mins. Add the eggs one at a time beating well between each addition followed by the vanilla.

2. In a separate bowl mix the flour, baking powder and a pinch of salt. Slowly beat into the butter mixture until a soft dough forms. Mix in the remaining ingredients until evenly distributed. Roll into a sausage about 40 cm long (or two 20cm logs), wrap in cling film and chill for at least 1 hour.

3. Preheat your oven to 190掳C/170掳C fan and line a baking sheet with baking parchment. Cut the chilled logs into 1 inch slices and place onto the prepared trays. Bake for 12-14 mins or until golden at the edges. Cool on the trays for 5 mins before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
