Ginger and citrus peel cookies

Makes 24 cookies, depending on size

 

7 tbsp oil

1 large egg

3 heaped teaspoons ground ginger powder

1 cup self raising flour

1 tsp vanilla

Pinch salt

¼ cup white sugar

100 g bought citrus peel, chopped

 

Preheat oven to 170 oC.  Spray baking sheet.  In a mixing bowl, mix the self raising flour with the chopped citrus peel – make sure they’re not clumped together.  In another bowl mix the oil, egg, vanilla, salt, ginger powder and sugar.  Add to the flour-citrus peel mixture and mix with fork or spoon.  It will be dry, but the more you mix, it will be better.  Loosely roll small balls and place on baking sheet.  Don’t need to press down.  Bake for 12 minutes.  Let cool for 5 minutes.  Remove and let cool completely.
