Meet the lovely Sherri, who amongst her talents which are many, makes the best soft cookies that we know of. As one of the four baking divas, she volunteered after hours of bullying and psychological torture to make 150 for our party last week. This is a classic American recipe, and I have persuaded her to share it with us. Enjoy!
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour (approx 340g)
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened (220g)
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar (170g)
- 3/4 cup packed brown sugar (135g)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 2 cups (approx 350g ) of white chocolate chip pieces (could be white choc, dark, milk etc)
- 1 cup chopped nuts (optional-approx 150g)
- Bake at 375 degrees F or gas mark 4 for 8-9 minutes for crispy outside, smooshy inside or 10 mins for crunchy
I have approximated the american cup sizes to metric weights, don’t be fooled into making them all the same as of course each ingredient has a different density, but then you knew that…I’ll do a blog giving you good conversion chart next week.

Not only are these the best cookies EVER, but they possibly saved my life on Sunday morning as I had smuggled a napkin-full home for my breakfast the next day!
Stunning cookies! Imagine my disappointment on Sunday motning post-Dallas party to see none left over. I was eagerly anticipating a cookie as my dessert after the hangover cure of Kim’s perfect bacon roll.
The food at the ranch was just wondeful – many many thanks for all the hard work!
I ate these and bread on Saturday. pure bliss and perfect with Slush puppie style cocktails
