Ingredients

60gr Sugar
2 tbsp Golden Syrup
1 tbsp Black Treacle
1 tbsp Water
1 tsp cinnamon
1 1/2 tsp Ginger
100gr Butter
1/2 tsp Bicarbonate Soda
230gr Flour (plain)
extra flour for dusting the surface

Instructions

In a medium size sauce pan add your sugar, water, golden syrup, black treacle syrup, cinnamon and ginger. Mix gently using a spatula.
Place over medium heat until the mixture is slightly boiling. Keep mixing every a few seconds to avoid the mixture from burning.
Then remove from the heat and add your butter in and mix until fully melted.
Add in your soda and flour and mix until a dough is formed. Let the dough cool down for 10 minutes.
Place your dough over a lightly floured surface and start rolling it out.
Now using the cookie cutters of your choice, cut your cookies. Place the cookies on a lined baking tray.
Bake for about 15 minutes at 175°C. Let them cool down and enjoy!
