• step 3

  add the golden syrup and the butter and mix together well until it forms a soft workable dough. (If it is too crumbly you can add a little more butter, or if it is too sticky add a little more flour)

• step 4

  Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to about 1cm thick and use a cutter of your choice to cut them into shapes

• step 5

  Lay out the shapes on the baking trays allowing a little room for them to expand

• step 6

  Cook for around 10-15 minutes depending on how chewy you want them (the longer time the harder they will be)
