A perfect gift for your loved ones this season!
A recipe from Betty Crocker. The original recipes uses orange while I opted to make it with lemon and I halved the recipe too.
You need –
- All purpose flour – 1 1/4 cups
- Caster sugar – 1/3 cup
- Lemon zest – 1 teaspoon
- Egg- 1, at room temperature
- Olive oil – 1/4 cup
- Lemon essence- 1/4 teaspoon
- Vanilla essence -1/2 teaspoon
- Dried cranberries-1/2 cup
- Baking powder 1/2 teaspoon
- A pinch of salt
How to –
Pre- heat the oven to 180C. Line a baking tray with a parchment paper or cookie sheet. Sift the flour, baking powder, salt and set aside.
In a mixing bowl, beat the egg, sugar, essence, zest, oil till well combined. Now stir in the flour and cranberries. Place the mixture on slightly floured surface and knead till smooth.
Now roll the dough into a 10×3 inch rectangle and place in on the prepared baking tray and bake for about 30 minutes or till the dough is slightly firm to touch and golden. Remove and cool the dough completely.
Once cooled cut the log diagonally into 1/2 inch slices. Place the slices on the baking tray and bake them again for about 12-15 minutes flipping then once halfway through till they are crisp and lightly browned. Remove and allow to cool completely before storing them in airtight containers.
