I didn't have the highest expectations for these biscuits if I'm going to be honest. I thought "ooh white chocolate, that's mum's favourite chocolate, I might try this recipe"... but OMG it's going to be a new favourite recipe!
These biscuits came out SO amazingly delicious. I couldn't believe it, so fluffy, and light and puffy. I didn't think the cranberries would be so delicious either, as I'd never really eaten dried cranberries, but they're little nuggets of tangy chewy goodness!
This recipe was also made more amazing by the fact that one of my friends was here at my house for the first time, and we baked them together which was totally fun!
Normally when I make biscuits they go all flat and chewy, but these ones puffed up gloriously and didn't deflate after we pulled them out of the oven!
WARNING: be careful when baking them, because they go from golden to starting-to-burn-and-smoking-out-the-oven REALLY quickly. So you want to keep a close eye on them to make sure they don't get TOO brown and your oven doesn't start to smoke.
