Broken Heart Healers

Ingredients: 

1/3 cups sugar

 1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar

 1 stick unsalted butter (115gr)

 1 tbsp  vanilla extract

 1 large egg

 1 1/2 cups flour

 1/2 tsp baking soda

 1 tsp salt

 1/2 cup chocolate chips

 1/2 cups walnuts

 1/3 cups raisins

 2 tbsp brown rum

Directions: 

Add the rum to the raisins and nuke them at full power for about a minute. The raisins will soak up the rum. Let them cool off. 

I used my food processor to combine the sugars. 

Add the soft butter and blitz for a minute or so.  

Add the vanilla extract, the (room temperature) egg and give it another 10 seconds. 

It should look like this now. 

Add the flour, salt and baking soda. 

Because I knew my food processor would chop them, I added the walnuts whole. Add the choc chips and raisins as well and blitz until the flour is just combined.

I wrapped it up and let it rest in the fridge for half an hour. Yes, yes, I knew I had to let the dough rest. I read it somewhere and we all know the internet is always right. 

After about 20 minutes I filled an ice scoop with the cookie dough and placed them on a parchment lined cookie sheet. 

Flatten them with your hands, but don’t tidy them up too much. 

Bake the cookies in a preheated oven at 350F° (175C°) for 14 to 17 minutes depending on how chewy or crunchy you like them. I opted for chewy and stuck with 15 minutes. 

Let them cool on the rack.
