Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 150 grams Unsalted butter (softened)
- 80 grams Golden syrup
- 100 grams Granulated sugar
- 200 grams All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, golden syrup, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. This should take about 2-3 minutes using an electric mixer or a whisk.
In another bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the cookies tender.
Roll the dough into small balls, about 1 tablespoon of dough per cookie, and place them on the prepared baking tray, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Using the back of a fork, gently press down on each dough ball to flatten slightly and create a crisscross pattern.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are just golden brown. The centers may still look slightly soft, but they will firm up as they cool.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking tray for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. Enjoy with a cup of tea or coffee!
