From: Waitrose

225g unsalted butter, softened
200g light brown muscovado sugar

½ tsp fine salt
1 tbsp ground ginger
125g jumbo oats

Preheat the oven to 190°C, gas mark 5. Line two baking sheets with baking parchment. Cream the butter and muscovado sugar in a bowl using electric beaters, then beat in the egg yolk.

Sift in the flour, salt and ground ginger. Using a spatula, work together to make a soft dough. Fold in 100g oats and 2/3 the stem ginger.
