I had never tried soft, chewy pandan cookies before, so I thought I’d experiment by replacing vanilla extract with pandan in my classic go-to cookies recipe.

Ingredients

105 g plain flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
55 g unsalted butter (room temp)
45 g brown sugar
25 g granulated sugar
1/2 egg
3/4 teaspoon pandan extract
65 g white chocolate chips

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 180°C. Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
Mix the flour, salt, and baking soda and set aside.
In a separate bowl, cream the butter and sugars together until creamy and smooth. Add in the egg and pandan extract.
Mix in the dry ingredients with the wet till combined, then stir in the chocolate chips. 5. Roll the dough into tiny balls and place it on the baking tray, making sure to leave space in between.
Bake for 8 mins or until the cookies are set. Remove and let cool for 2 mins before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
