100g all

purpose flour

50g butter, softened

50g brown sugar

1 egg yolk

1 teaspoon baking powder

½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg

¼ teaspoon ground cloves

50g dried fruit (raisins, currants, cranberries etc.)

Cooking Instructions:

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a medium bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg yolk until combined.

Using your hands or a spoon, scoop out tablespoon-sized pieces of dough and roll into balls. Place on prepared baking sheet about 2 inches apart and flatten slightly with your fingers or a fork.

Bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown around the edges. Allow to cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
