White Chocolate & Raspberry Cookies

After being so good all week, this morning I decided to bake something sweet for Molly and I to have with a cup of tea over the weekend. I had some condensed milk lurking in the cupboard that I was eager to use up so decided to start with one ingredient and see what I could come up with. I adore condensed milk and gross as it sounds could quite happily eat it from the tin. It's deliciously sweet and adds a lovely flavour and texture when used in baking. These cookies are the perfect combination of sweet and tart. I love eating cookies straight out of the oven with a hot chocolate or cup of tea.....weekend bliss!

110g soft brown sugar

50g raspberries (frozen)
170g self-raising flour

Method
1. In a large bowl, beat together the butter, sugar and condensed milk until smooth.
2. Add the white chocolate and sift in the flour until the mixture comes together to form a dough.
3. Line two baking sheets and place divide the dough into approximately 10 balls, and flatten 
    slightly.
4. Press two to three raspberries into the top of each cookie.

E-D's Notes
- These chewy cookies would be just as delicious with dark chocolate pieces instead of white if 
   that's your preference.
- These cookies will keep well for 2 days if kept in an airtight container.
- Using frozen raspberries makes pushing the raspberries into the cookies dough much easier 
  and won't result in a mushy mess!
