Servings: 14 cookies
Ingredients
- 2/3 cup butter
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 1 tbsp golden syrup
- 1 1/2 cups flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 4 tsp ground ginger
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 2 tsp ground mixed spice
- 1/2 tsp ground cloves
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 180ºC.
-
Beat butter and sugar with an electric mixer until pale and creamy.
-
Mix in golden syrup and combined dry ingredients. Mix with a metal spoon until mixture sticks together.
-
Roll into balls, roughly 1 inch round and place on baking trays allowing enough room for biscuits to spread. Flatten a bit with your fingers. If you want thin and super crispy biscuits flatten quite a lot, if you want chunky softer in the centre biscuits then flatten to about 1cm thick. (I like them both ways, the thinner biscuits are better for dunking.)
-
Bake for 15 to 20 minutes until rich golden brown.
-
Store in air tight container.
Recipe Notes
You can easily double or triple this recipe to make a bigger batch of cookies. Little tip: If you have forgotten to take the butter out the fridge in time for it to soften, cut it into little pieces and space out on a cutting board for a few minutes. It should warm to room temperature quite quickly.
