Pastry chef Toni Roberts of the Ritz-Carlton Chicago combines red sangria puree with white chocolate, butter, sugar and flour to create these melt-in-your mouth cookies. The sparkly rose-colored treats would look festive on a holiday platter.
Ingredients
115 g red sangria blend
180 g white chocolate, melted
40 g butter, melted
1 egg
85 g granulated sugar
160 g bread flour
1/2 tsp. baking powder
Red food coloring, optional
Red, pink, and orange sparkle sugar mix
Steps
1. In large bowl, combine red sangria blend, melted white chocolate, melted butter, egg and sugar; mix to blend..
2. Sift together the flour and baking powder into a separate bowl. Blend the sifted ingredients into the sangria-white chocolate mix. Add few drops red food coloring, if desired. The dough will be loose.
3. Cover cookie dough with plastic wrap touching the surface; refrigerate overnight.
4. Preheat oven to 350 F or 325 F for convection. Scoop cookie dough into 1½-ounce portions onto parchment paper; roll in sparkle sugar mixture and transfer to sheet pans, placing 4 inches apart.
5. Bake cookies 12 to 15 minutes until centers are puffed and set. Allow to cool 10 minutes. Store in an airtight container.
