About the bake

This is a Mauritian inspired recipe from the MasterChef winner Shelina Permalloo. These cookies are deliciously sweet due to the white chocolate paired with the unrefined sugars.

Method

  1. Step 1:

    Preheat the oven to 180°C (fan 160°C, gas mark 4). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. Step 2:

    Using an electric mixer cream together the butter and sugars until light and fluffy.

  3. Step 3:

    Pre whisk the egg and then add to the mixture slowly making sure it is completely incorporated.

  4. Step 4:

    Remove the husks from the cardamom pods and use the black seeds inside. Ground the seeds in a pestle and mortar to release the aromas before adding to the rest of the mixture.

  5. Step 5:

    Add the sifted flour, salt and baking powder and mix until well combined. Fold in the cardamom pods and white chocolate until evenly mixed.

  6. Step 6:

    Using a dessert spoon, spoon balls of the mixture onto the baking sheet, leaving some room between them to allow the cookies to spread during baking.

  7. Step 7:

    Place in the oven and cook for 12 - 15 minutes, they may seem quite soft when they first come out but this is fine, as they will harden as they cool down.
