Mulberry, Rose & White Chocolate Cookies

Everywhere I go, I carry a little black and red notebook which I fill with ideas, flavour combos and future bakes. Written down was an idea to make some rose and white chocolate cookies, so, when I found myself with a free afternoon a couple of weeks ago, I set about this little project. As I got out the relevant ingredients from my baking cupboard (yes...I have a baking cupboard!) I found a small packet of dried mulberries.

Mulberries are similar to blackberries, with a sweet, delicious, delicate flavour - the perfect addition to the rose and white chocolate.

METHOD

- In a bowl, cream together the butter and sugars together before adding the egg.

- Sift in the flour and add the rosewater and beat to form a smooth cookie dough.
