Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F / 180°C and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper
Beat together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy
Add the zest of 1-2 oranges, dependong on how punchy you want the orange flavour to be
Squeeze the juice of one of the oranges into the mixture (about 4 tablespoons)
Add the flour and ground ginger and mix together until a dough forms. If it won't come together into a dough, add a little more juice from the orange
Roll out the dough on a floured surface to about ½ an inch thick and cut into desired shapes - this dough will spread very slightly, but not much
Bake for 16 minutes or until the edges just start to turn golden
