Cranberry Cookies

My cranberry cookies

Biscuits, cookies, call them what you will but these are fantastic! If you're not big on cranberries, you can use raisins, dried apricots or whatever you fancy really!

You'll need

135 g butter
80 g white sugar (about 3/4 dl)
80 g soft light brown sugar ( 3/4 dl)
1 egg
1/2 tsp vanilla essence
190g flour (3dl)
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp bicarbonate of soda
100g of dried cranberries

You can also throw in a bit of desiccated coconut if you have some :)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 170 C.
Line 2-3 baking trays with baking paper.
Cream together the soft butter and two types of sugar with an electric whisker.
Add the egg and vanilla essence, mix further.
Add other ingredients.
Break off pieces of the dough, about 2 tablespoons per cookie, then roll into balls and place on the prepared baking tray. Allow 5-6 cookies per tray with gaps of about 7cm as they will spread.
Press the cookies slightly and bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.

Cookies make a lovely gift!
