White chocolate chip and raspberry skillet cookie
INGREDIENTS:
½ cup butter, room temperature
½ cup granulated sugar
½ cup brown sugar, firmly packed (we used Splenda brown)
1 tsp good quality vanilla extract
¼ tsp almond extract
1 extra large egg, room temperature
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
½ tsp baking soda
½ cup fresh or frozen raspberries
¾ cup white chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 350 F.
Grease a 10 inch cast-iron pan
Cream butter and sugars until fluffy.
Add egg and vanilla and almond extracts mixing well after each addition.
Mix flour and baking powder together and then add slowly,
mixing until just blended
Add 1/3 cup white choco chips and blend again
Press cookie dough in cast-iron pan.
Sprinkle the raspberries around and then sprinkle remaining ½ cup of
white chocolate chips.
Bake for 20 – 25 minutes until nicely browned. Yum.
We thought these cookie slices would be nice with ice cream or vanilla yogurt but we had 'em while they were warm from the pan. And we'll have them again as soon as we get more ingredients in.
