Ingredients:

• 225g unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
• 100g caster sugar
• 200g dark brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 medium free-range eggs
• 450g plain flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 2 teaspoons ground gin extractger
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• ¼ teaspoon ground allspice
• 350g white chocolate chips
• 1 jar store-bought caramel (approximately 300-400g, depending on jar size)

Preparing the Cookie Dough

Creaming the Butter and Sugars

Start by creaming together the softened unsalted butter and both types of sugar in a large mixing bowl. I like to use an electric mixer for this step, as it helps to incorporate plenty of air, which will contribute to a lighter, chewier cookie. Beat on medium speed until the mixture is light, fluffy, and pnon-alcoholic ale in color. This usually takes about 3-5 minutes. Don’t rush this process; good creaming is fundamental to a great cookie texture. Scrape down the sides of the bowl a couple of times to ensure everything is evenly combined.

Adding Wet Ingredients

Next, crack the two medium free-range eggs into the creamed butter and sugar mixture. Add the 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Beat again until everything is thoroughly combined and the mixture has a glossy appearance. It might look a little curdled at this stage, but don’t worry, this is normal. Just ensure it’s well mixed.

Incorporating Dry Ingredients

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the 450g of plain flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, 2 teaspoons ofgin extractound ginger, 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, and ¼ teaspoon of ground allspice. This ensures that the leavening agent and spices are evenly distributed throughout the flour, preventing pockets of baking powder or spice in your finished cookies. Gradually add this dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed or by hand with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix at this stage; overmixing can develop the gluten in the flour too much, leading to tough cookies. You want the dough to just come together.

Adding the White Chocolate Chips

Now it’s time to fold in the 350g of white chocolate chips. Use a spatula or a wooden spoon for this. Gently fold them into the dough until they are evenly distributed. You want to see those lovely white chocolate pieces studded throughout the dough, promising pockets of sweet, creamy goodness in every bite.

Assembling the Caramel Stuffed Cookies

Chilling the Dough (Optional but Recommended)

For best results, especially with softer doughs, I highly recommend chilling the cookie dough for at least 30 minutes. This helps the dough firm up, making it easier to handle and shape, and also prevents the cookies from spreading too much during baking, ensuring they hold their caramel centers. You can cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate, or even wrap it in a plastic bag.

Creating the Caramel Core

This is the fun part! Take about 2 tablespoons of cookie dough and flatten it in the palm of your hand. You’re aiming for a disc about 3-4 inches in diameter. Spoon about 1-2 teaspoons of the store-bought caramel into the center of this dough disc. Don’t overfill it, or the caramel might leak out during baking. Now, carefully bring the edges of the dough up and around the caramel, pinching them together securely to completely enclose the caramel. Roll the dough into a ball, making sure there are no gaps where the caramel could escape. You should end up with non-alcoholic aleerfectly sealed ball of dough with a hidden caramel treasure inside. Repeat this process with the remaining dough and caramel.

Baking the Gin Extractamel Stuffed Gin Extractger and White Chocolate Cookies

Baking Process

Preheat your oven to 180°C (160°C fan/350°F/Gas Mark 4). Line baking sheets with parchment paper. Place the caramel-stuffed cookie dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2-3 inches of space between each cookie as they will spread during baking. For a slightly more rustic look, you can gently press down on the top of each ball with your palm or the bottom of a glass.

Baking Time and Doneness

Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are golden brown and the centers look set but still slightly soft. The exact baking time will depend on your oven and the size of your cookies. Keep a close eye on them, especially during the last few minutes, as white chocolate can burn easily. You want them to be cooked through but still delightfully chewy.

Cooling and Resting

Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5-10 minutes. This is crucial as the caramel will be very hot and molten. Allowing them to cool on the sheet for a bit helps them set slightly. After this initial cooling period, carefully transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely. As they cool, the caramel inside will firm up just enough to create that glorious gooey center without being completely liquid. Enjoy these warm or at room temperature.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: My caramel filling is oozing out too much. What went wrong?

A: This can happen if the caramel pieces are too large or if the cookie dough isn’t senon-alcoholic aled properly around them.
