Happy Sunday!
These aren’t just ANY jam drops. Nope. These are the best, most delicious cookies I make. Raspberry White Chocolate Shortbread Cookies. Trust me, you need this recipe. So easy.
Cream together in a mixer:
1 cup butter
2/3 cup white sugar
1/2 tsp almond extract
Add 2 cups + 2 tablespoons plain flour. Mix.
Roll into balls and indent with your beautiful thumbprint.
Add raspberry jam. I use a piping bag to do this. (The trick: warm up the jam a little or stir it well to make sure there are no lumps.)
See? So pretty.
Bake at 180F / 350 F for around 12 minutes. Cool. Then melt some white chocolate. I use about half a bag of Nestle White Melts. I can’t remember if you have those in Canada or America! Oh man, I’ve been in Australia for 23 years. I’m nearly Half & Half now (but I still sound 100% Canadian).
I pour the melted chocolate in a ziplock bag and snip the end. Then I drizzle over cooled cookies and wow, suddenly everything is elevated to SENSATIONAL. So easy.
Cookies are best when they’re made with love, right? These ones are going to be served to some beautiful women near Cronulla Beach today. We’re doing a tiny, social-distanced book event at Anna’s Shop.
I’m excited to dress up, drive down and share my stories from The 10 Minute Fix.
Three friends are hosting 10 Minute Fix bookclubs with their crew, and if you’d like to do the same, please invite me on Zoom! I’ll bring the virtual cookies (at least the recipe) and see your faces and hear what you think. You can email me here.
My favourite fix this week is #61:
(Yep, just like I wrote in the introduction, I need my own book! I still read it at night before bed.)
Enjoy your Sunday. If you’re baking cookies, these are the best.
Love Catherine
