Here's a great store cupboard recipe for spice cookies though - good for keeping hungry tradies happy at morning tea time AND dairy free.
1/2 cup oil (I use rice bran oil, but any vegetable oil is fine)
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 cups plain flour
1 teaspoon cinnamon
2 teaspoons ground ginger
pinch salt
Preheat oven to 200 C and line a couple of baking trays.
Mix ingredients in the order listed. Roll into walnut sized balls and press lightly with your thumb to flatten if you like.
Bake for 8 - 10 minutes. Cool on tray for a few minutes before removing to a wire rack.
Makes around 30 cookies.
