GINGER GINGER COOKIES

Makes 20, depending on size

 

7 tablespoons vegetable oil

1 large egg

2 heaped teaspoons ground ginger powder

1 cup selfraising flour

1 tsp vanilla

Pinch salt

1/2 cup brown sugar

1/4 cup white sugar

1/2 cup glazed ginger, cut into small chunks

 

Preheat oven to 170 oC.  Spray baking sheet.  In a mixing bowl, mix the selfraising flour with the chunks of ginger – make sure they’re not clumped together.  Add rest of ingredients, mix well (mixture will be a bit dry), form golf-size balls and place on baking sheet (not too close, they do spread).  Bake for 12 minutes.  Let cool for 5 minutes.  Remove and let cool completely.
