Ingredients
  

For the cookie

  • 200 g flour (cake or all purpose), sifted
  • 110 g butter
  • 60 g sugar
  • 30 g dried cranberries, chopped
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 1 tsp mixed spice
  • 1/2 tsp ground ginger

For the chocolate drizzle

  • 25 g white chocolate

Instructions
 

For the cookie

  • Place the softened butter and sugar in a bowl. Whisk until well combined and slightly fluffy.
  • Add in the rest of the cookie ingredients- sifted flour, honey, mixed spice, ground ginger and chopped cranberries.
  • Mix and gather the cookie dough into a ball. Flatten the ball into a disc and place in cling wrap in the fridge for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 175°C (fan off).
  • Roll out the disc between 2 pieces of wax/baking paper until it is 5-6 mm thick. Cut out festive shapes using cookie cutters of your choice.
  • Place cut shapes on a baking tray lined with a silicone baking mat (use baking paper if you don't have a mat) and bake for 12-14 minutes or until golden. Remove from the oven and allow to cool on a rack.

For the chocolate drizzle

  • Melt the white chocolate in the microwave or on a water bath.
  • Using a skewer, or piping bag, drizzle on the melted chocolate over the cookies. If using a skewer, dip the skewer into the melted chocolate before drizzling over the cookies.
