Dried cranberry and white chocolate cookies

I'm gonna sound like a commercial now: are you craving something sweet but you don't have a lot of time to bake? Then this cranberry and white chocolate cookie recipe is the one for you! :)) But really, it takes only 15 minutes to make the dough, and another 5 to make it into cookies, and then the baking is 10-12 minutes. If you really don't have much time, you can add the chocolate to the dough but if you feel like being creative, I suggest decorating the top of the cookies with it. 



 Ingredients which will make about 17 cookies:
  • 13 dkgs of plain flour
  • 13 dkgs of whole grain spelt flour
  • 10 dkgs of sugar
  • 8 dkgs of cold butter 
  • 2 eggs
  • two handfuls of dried cranberries
  • a handful of raisins
  • 1.5 tablespoons of candied orange peel
  • a pinch of cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon of baking powder
Mix the two types of flour with the sugar, the cinnamon and the baking powder. Crumble the butter into the flour mixture, then add the two eggs. You can start stirring it with a wooden spoon in the beginning but then you'll have to dive in and knead the dough with your hands, until almost done. In that exact moment just add the dried fruits and the orange peel and finish the dough. Line some parchment paper in a baking tin and shape the cookies so that they are of 6 cms of diameter, approximately. Bake them at 180 deg Celsius for about 10-12 minutes, until the top becomes golden brown. Place them on a cake rack and let them cool, while you melt the white chocolate. You can decorate the cookies with the melted chocolate, almond flakes and cranberries.
