    These cookies are filled with guava paste chunks and white chocolate chunks. Like some of my other recipes, these cookies combine American food with my Hispanic heritage.

    • Light brown sugar
    • Granulated white sugar
    • Canola oil
    • Large eggs
    • Vanilla extract

    How do you make these cookies?

    • Preheat your oven

    • Add your dry ingredients to your wet ingredient bowl and mix.
    • In another bowl, add your cubed guava paste and about ¼ cup of flour. toss the guava paste around the flour until all the sides of the guava are well coated, this helps make sure your guava doesn't stick together in the cookie dough!

    • Scoop onto a parchment lined cookie sheet and bake!

    white chocolate chunks vs. white chocolate chips

    White chocolate chunks are the way to go! To me, smashing up a big chocolate bar is not only cathartic, the chocolate tastes better than baking chips. For this recipe, I splurged and used chopped up Valrhona baking chocolate, but you can use 2 Lindt white chocolate bars. If you're using bars, smash them up into about ½ inch pieces and add them into the dough.

    How do you store unbaked cookie dough?

    I'm a big fan of making a big batch of cookie dough and freezing the bulk of the dough in order to have fresh baked cookies whenever I want. This is my process for freezing cookie dough:

    1. Using your ice cream scoop, scoop out your cookie dough onto a parchment lined cookie sheet.
    2. Chill the scooped cookie dough balls in the freezer for 20 minutes.
    3. Remove the cookie dough from the freezer and place the cold cookie dough balls into a freezer safe zip-top bag.
    4. Place the freeze cookie dough for up to 2 months.
    5. When it’s time to bake the cookies, bake them for two minutes longer since the dough is frozen.

      Oh my goodness , these are fantastic! Was looking for something besides the same old guava pastries and found this cookie recipe. So glad I tried them because they are so delicious that I am planning on adding them to my list of cookies for Christmas. Try them, you will love them!

      These cookies are AMAZING. The dough turned out a little stiff so my guava ended up in streaks instead of chunks, but it doesn't matter. Soooo good!

    My name is Cari and I'm the person behind FatgirlHedonist.com. I'm born and raised in Miami (Hialeah if you'd like specifics) and proud Latina. I'm a single mom to a very curious toddler. I completed a culinary program in high school that made my love of food blossom, but my career went in a very different direction. No matter what turns my life has taken, cooking, baking and eating have always been three of my favorite activities. I'm lucky enough that I can have this blog as an outlet for those three passions.
