Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (about 6 3/4 ounces)
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 3/4 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon salt

• 1 large egg
• 2/3 cup sweetened dried cranberries, chopped (such as Craisins)
• Cooking spray

Preparation

1. Preheat oven to 375°.
2. Lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Combine flour, baking soda, and next 5 ingredients (though cloves); stir well with a whisk.
3. Combine granulated sugar and next 5 ingredients (through egg) in a large bowl; beat with a mixer at medium speed until well blended (about 3 minutes). Add flour mixture to sugar mixture; beat at low speed just until combined. Fold in cranberries.
