Step-by-Step Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and caster sugar together with an electric whisk until the mixture is light, pale, and fluffy.

Add the condensed milk and vanilla extract to the butter mixture. Beat for approximately 1 minute until the ingredients are just combined.

In a separate bowl, stir together the plain flour, baking powder, and ground cinnamon. Gradually tip the dry ingredients into the wet mixture and stir until a soft dough forms.

Gently fold in the dried cranberries and white chocolate chunks by hand, kneading lightly until they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Divide the dough in half. Roll each piece into a log approximately 4cm thick. Wrap each log tightly in a double layer of baking parchment.

Tie the ends of the parchment with ribbon to resemble a Christmas cracker. Freeze the logs for at least 24 hours until solid. The dough will keep in the freezer for up to three months.
