Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl whisk together the semolina, bread flour, salt and baking powder, set aside.
  2. In the mixing bowl beat the egg and sugar 2 minutes, then add the melted cooled butter, beat to combine 1 minute. Add the whisked dried ingredients and combine on low with the mixer or with a wooden spoon, when almost combined add the cranberries, nuts or chips.
  3. Cover the bowl and refrigerate 1 hour.
  4. Remove from the fridge and form into small balls (a little smaller than golf ball size - mine weighed 25 grams / 1 ounce). Roll the balls in the sugar and place on a parchment paper lined cookie sheet. Lightly flatten with a fork. While the oven is pre-heating refrigerate the cookie dough approximately 15-20 minutes.
  5. Pre-heat oven to 350F (180C).
  6. Bake the cookies for approximately 10-12 minutes or until golden brown. Cool the cookies 5 minutes on the cookie sheet then move to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Soak the cranberries in boiling water for 10 minutes then drain well. 
  • Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature and they will keep for several days.
  • The cookies can be frozen in a freezer safe container for up to 3 months.
