Ingredients
Cheesecake Filling
- 100 grams cream cheese cold 3 ½ oz
- 25 grams icing sugar 2 tbsp
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 tsp
Cookie Dough
- 250 grams unsalted butter cold and cubed 1 cup + 2 tbsp
- 150 grams light brown sugar ¾ cup
- 100 grams caster sugar ½ cup
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 tsp
- 450 grams plain flour 3 ½ cups
- 1 tablespoon cornflour 1 tbsp
- 1 teaspoon baking powder 1 tsp
- ½ teaspoon bicarbonate of soda ½ tsp
- ½ teaspoon salt ½ tsp
- 150 grams white chocolate chunks 5 oz
- 150 grams milk or dark chocolate chunks 5 oz
- 120 grams fresh or frozen raspberries 4 oz (use frozen if soft)
Instructions
- Mix the cream cheese, icing sugar and vanilla until smooth. Scoop 12 portions of the mix onto a lined tray and freeze for at least 30 minutes.
- Beat the cold butter with the brown and caster sugars until just combined. Add the eggs and vanilla and mix again.
- Whisk together the flour, cornflour, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda and salt. Add this to the bowl and mix to form a thick dough.
- Fold in the chocolate chunks. Add the raspberries and gently fold them through.
- Divide the dough into 8 balls. Flatten each one, place a frozen cheesecake scoop in the middle and wrap the dough around it. Chill the shaped cookies for 1 hour.
- Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Bake 4 cookies per tray for 12 to 14 minutes until the edges are set and the centres look soft. Cool on the tray for 15 minutes.
- If the cookies spread a bit while baking, use a large cookie cutter or cookie ring to swoosh them back into shape as they cool. Place the cookie ring over the cookie and swirl it back into shape.
