Method
Step 1:
Preheat the oven to 190°C (170°C fan, gas mark 5) and line 2 large baking trays with baking parchment.
Step 2:
Cream together the butter and sugar until combined. Stir in the egg, orange extract, and cinnamon and mix well.
Step 3:
Add the flour, salt, baking powder and bicarbonate of soda and mix until well combined. Don’t worry if the dough turns out quite stiff.
Step 4:
Add the candied peel and mash together until evenly distributed.
Step 5:
Divide the mixture into 8 - 10 balls and place on a baking tray leaving about 8cm between each one.
Step 6:
Bake in the oven for 10-12 mins. Remove from the oven and leave to cool and firm up, before transferring onto a cooling wire to cool completely.
