Since participating in the Sweet Adventures Blog Hop by making white chocolate and macadamia cookies I have been thinking about cookies a lot, so had to make some more! These are a little more on the healthy side but are still deliciously moreish and are perfect with a mid-morning cup of tea. If you don’t have (or like) cranberries you could use sultanas or apricot instead, but I personally think the cranberries work extra well with the dark chocolate.
Ingredients List
- 150g butter
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 egg
