These delish white choc and raspberry crinkle cookies are one of my absolute favourite things to make. Packed with all the flavour our high-quality white eating chocolate and freeze-dried raspberries, they really are something pretty special.
While not the cheapest biscuits to make, the quality of the ingredients used in this recipe really makes the finished cookies shine. Imagine a soft, white chocolate biscuit dotted with bursts of incredible raspberry flavour – they’re a truly memorable experience!
Despite tasting decidedly fancy, these cookies are an absolute breeze to make. Just be warned – you will get sticky hands! Kids will lover making these biscuits too – whether you’re young or simply young at heart, there’s something pretty neat about watching them crack and crinkle in the oven.
Who doesn’t love sitting down with a big cup of tea and a biscuit? You’ll want a large cuppa to go with these cookies – these Tulum Mugs are perfect (and pretty gorgeous too!)
