Ingredients

Reduced-calorie margarine

½ cup(s)

Sugar

⅔ cup(s)

Unpacked light brown sugar

½ cup(s)

Egg

1 medium

Vanilla extract

½ tsp(s)

Self-rising flour

1⅔ cup(s)

Table salt

1 pinch(es)

Dried cranberries

½ cup(s)

Ground ginger

1 tsp(s), level

Orange zest

1 piece(s), finely grated

Instructions

  1. Using a stand mixer, cream the margarine, sugar and light brown sugar in a large mixing bowl until smooth and thick. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract, then sift in the self-raising flour and a large pinch of salt and mix until just combined. Add the dried cranberries, ground ginger and the grated orange zest to the mixture and mix until combined. Cover and chill for 3 hours.
  2. Preheat the oven to 400°F,. Line two baking sheets with baking paper. Form the mixture into 16 walnut-sized balls and put them on the sheets, leaving plenty of room for the cookies to spread. Use the back of a wet spoon to flatten the tops of the cookies slightly, then bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden at the edges.
  3. Leave the cookies on the baking tray for 5 minutes to firm up, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
