Easter cookies

These spicy, fragrant cookies are great for an Easter tea-time treat

Ingredients
125 g English unsalted butter, softened, plus extra for greasing optional
0.5 orange, finely grated zest and juice
1 tsp Fairtrade ground mixed spice
200 g Fairtrade light brown soft sugar
1 capful Madagascan vanilla extract
200 g British self-raising flour
200 g mixed dried fruit

Method
Preheat the oven to 180°C, fan 160°C, gas 4. Grease 3 baking trays or line with greaseproof paper. If you don't have 3 trays, bake the cookies in batches.

In a bowl, beat the butter, orange zest, mixed spice and sugar together until pale and fluffy.

Add the vanilla extract, sift in the flour, then add the dried fruit and orange juice, and mix well.

Form the mixture into small balls using a teaspoon and put them onto the baking trays, spacing well apart. They will spread and flatten into cookies as they bake

Bake for 10-13 minutes until cooked and light golden, but still chewy inside. Leave to cool.

Cook's tip:
for an extra treat, add some white, milk or dark chocolate chips or chunks to this recipe.
