Ingredients

85g/3 ounces butter
100g/4 ounces caster sugar
1 egg, beaten
5ml vanilla extract
10ml mixed spice
40ml golden syrup
250g/9 ounces plain flour
2.5g baking powder
icing sugar or granulated sugar to decorate

Directions

  1. When ready to bake, preheat oven to 180 degrees C/gas 4.

  2. Beat together the butter and sugar until they turn pale yellow, about 3-5 minutes with an electric mixer.

  3. Add the egg slowly, beating until well combined, stir in the vanilla, spice, golden syrup, flour and baking powder.

  4. If it is very sticky, add a little more flour.

  5. Shape into a flat disc, wrap in cling film and chill in the fridge for about an hour.

  6. Grease a couple of flat baking sheets.

  7. Roll out half the biscuit mixture on a floured board so it is 4mm/1/4in thick and cut out 12 Christmas trees using a 7.5/3in Christmas tree cookie cutter.

  8. Repeat with the remaining dough.

  9. Place on a baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes until just golden around the edges.


To decorate, either scatter with granulated sugar before baking or dust with icing sugar when cooled.
