Momofuku: Blueberries and Cream Cookies

One of my colleagues at work brought in these delicious blueberry and cream cookies. They were buttery with a slight sour-cream taste. The recipe is from Momofuku (David Chang). It is two parts. First milk crumbs, then cookie batter. I found the recipe on the internet and just saw a variation published in the September 2010 edition of Bon Appétit. It was well worth the time in the kitchen. Enjoy!!

Momofuku: Blueberries and Cream Cookies
Makes 18 to 24 cookies

Milk Crumbs
1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon nonfat milk powder
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1/4 cup white chocolate, melted
Preheat oven to 225 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside.

In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons plus 1 1/2 teaspoons milk powder, flour, cornstarch, sugar, and salt. Stir in melted butter until well combined. Spread mixture on prepared baking sheet and transfer to oven. Bake until dried and crumbly, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove milk crumble from oven and let cool completely.

Transfer milk crumble to a large bowl and fold in remaining 2 tablespoons plus 1 1/2 teaspoons milk powder and white chocolate. Use immediately or transfer to an airtight container and keep refrigerated until ready to use.
