    Recipe Tips and Tricks

    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.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Should you rehydrate dried cranberries before baking?

    I don’t rehydrate dried cranberries before using them in my baking. Unless specified in the recipe, there is no need to do this.

    Can you freeze cranberries?

    I regularly freeze dried cranberries and they defrost well. Store in a freezer safe container and use within two months.

      Your cookies look delicious. Very nice close up photos as well. I am a huge fan of white chocolate, and it seems like a great marriage with cranberry. Will have to check it out for myself. Cheers and Happy Holidays!
