White choc and cherry cookies

Ingredients:

200g (7 oz) plain flour
1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
125g (4 oz) caster sugar
125g (4 oz) butter (at room temperature)
1 egg
few drops vanilla essence
1 tablespoon of milk
150g (5oz) white chocolate chips or chunks
75g (3 oz) dried cherries (we used sour baking cherries but they can be glace)

What you do:

1: Set the oven to 180C/350F/Gas mark 4
Put the flour, bicarbonate of soda and sugar into a bowl and mix well together.

Cut the butter into little pieces and add them to the bowl, rub the butter into the flour with your finger tips until the mixture looks like fine breadcrumbs.

2: Beat the egg, vanilla and milk together in a mug. Chop the cherries up a bit so that they're not such big pieces. Be careful with the knife and make sure you use a chopping board!
Put egg and milk mixture, chocolate and cherries into the mixing bowl.

3: Grease or line baking sheets, drop spoonfuls of cookie WELL SPACED APART on the sheets.
Bake in the oven for 10 -12 minutes until lightly browned.
Leave to harden for a couple of minutes on the tray then move to a wire rack to cool
(or to a plate and eat them!!)

What we thought:

"These are really easy and really tasty!"
"They're very sweet, maybe I'd like them more with brown chocolate"
"You could change the fruit to nuts, or a different fruit, that'd make it less sweet"
"Will we make these again?!"

What score would you give them out of 10?
"Ooh! A healthy 8.91!!"
"10, no worries!"
