Instructions
- Step 1
- Preheat the oven to 175°C (350°F). Line a 22x22 cm (9x9 inch) baking pan with parchment paper, leaving a slight overhang for easy removal.
- Step 2
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, clotted cream, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy (about 2–3 minutes).
- Step 3
- Beat in the egg, vanilla extract, and sea salt until well combined.
- Step 4
- Sift together the flour and baking powder. Gradually add to the wet ingredients, mixing just until incorporated.
- Step 5
- Gently fold in the white chocolate chips or chunks.
- Step 6
- Spread the dough evenly into the prepared pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Step 7
- Bake for 23–26 minutes, or until the edges are golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Step 8
- Allow to cool completely in the pan before lifting out and cutting into bars.
Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung
For best results, ensure the butter is softened rather than melted to achieve a tender and fluffy dough. Room temperature eggs and clotted cream help create an even texture. Using parchment paper with an overhang makes it easier to lift the bars out once cooled, preventing breakage.
Varianten und Anpassungen
To customize these bars, consider substituting the white chocolate with milk or dark chocolate chips for a different flavor profile. Adding nuts such as chopped pecans or macadamias can provide extra crunch. You can also drizzle melted white chocolate over the cooled bars for an elegant finishing touch.
Serviervorschläge
Serve these rich cookie bars on their own or paired with fresh berries for a contrast of tartness. A dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream elevates the dessert for special occasions. These bars are perfect for afternoon tea, dessert platters, or as a luxurious snack.
Save With minimal fuss and maximum flavor, these Clotted Cream Cookie Bars with White Chocolate bring a slice of British-inspired indulgence into your kitchen. Whether you're baking for family, friends, or yourself, these bars promise a perfect balance of buttery richness and creamy sweetness in every bite.
