Leanne’s Christmas recipe


Ingredients :

  • 2 1/4 cups (550 mL) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp. (5 mL) baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp. (2 mL) salt
  • 1 cup (250 mL) Margarine
  • 1 cup (250 mL) firmly packed light brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup (60 mL) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp. (5 mL) vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp. (5 mL) ground cinnamon
  • 1 tsp. (5 mL) ground ginger
  • 3 Tbsp. (45 mL) Chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup (125 mL) dried cranberries
  • 1/2 cup (125 mL) toasted chopped pistachios

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375°F (190° C). Line a 13 x 9-inch (33 x 23 cm) baking pan with foil or parchment paper leaving a 2-inch (5 cm) overhang; spray with cooking spray and set aside. Combine flour, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl; set aside.

Step 2

Beat margarine with sugars in a large bowl. Beat in eggs and vanilla until blended. Gradually add in the flour mixture; beat just until blended. Stir in cinnamon and ginger. Spread into the prepared baking pan. Combine chips, cranberries, and pistachios in a small bowl. Evenly sprinkle over the dough; press gently.

Step 3

Bake for 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool in the pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Using the foil overhang, lift out of the pan and cool completely. Cut into 30 pieces.
