Cranberry and White Chocolate Chunk Biscuits

This classic Cranberry and White Chocolate Chunk Biscuits recipe couldn’t be easier to make! Both regular and Thermomix instructions included.

I love the combination of White Chocolate and Cranberry (hello to this White Chocolate and Cranberry Muffin recipe and also these White Chocolate and Cranberry Hot Cross Buns!) and there is no better time to use these yummy ingredients than at Christmas.  This recipe is based on my Chocolate Chip Biscuits, with a few simple alterations which I think make them taste a whole lot better!

I like to use a block of white chocolate which has been roughly chopped for this recipe, as I really think the bigger pieces of white chocolate make this recipe a whole lot yummier (and a bit prettier too!), however you certainly can use white chocolate chips if you prefer.

Tips for making these Cranberry and White Chocolate Chunk Biscuits

• To ensure your mixture combines quickly, it’s important to use butter that has been bought to room temperature.
• The baking time for these biscuits will vary between ovens due to the size and thickness of your biscuits.
• You can use a block of white chocolate that has been roughly chopped OR white chocolate chips for this recipe.
• If you are making these biscuits in a warmer climate and the dough is very soft, place the mixture into the fridge for half an hour before rolling into balls.
