Treacle Spice Cookies

Just a little bit spicy...

These cookies, which I have aptly named treacle spice cookies, are so yummy!

Reminiscent of bakery bought gingerbread these won't be left to waste!

Ingredients

2 tablespoon black treacle

50g/ ¼ cup butter

1 cup plain flour

¼ tsp bicarb soda

1¼ tsp ground ginger

¾ tsp ground cinnamon

3½ tbsp brown sugar

1 egg yolk

¾ tsp mixed spices

Cooking Instructions

1) Preheat oven at 190°C and line a baking tray with baking paper before setting it aside.

2) Sift the flour, bicarbonate of soda, ginger, cinnamon, mixed spices and sugar into a bowl and mix.

3) Separate an egg and drop the yolk in the dry mix. Gently heat the treacle and butter together in the microwave until just beginning to melt. Add to dry mix.

Beat the ingredients together until they form a soft yet firm dough.

4) Place a sheet of baking paper on a firm surface and turn dough onto it. Using a rolling pin, roll out the dough to about 5mm thick. Using a cookie cutter, cut out as many cookies as possible. Bring together the dough scraps and repeat until there’s nothing left. 

5) Line the cookies up on the lined tray and chill in the fridge for 10 minutes. Remove and place immediately in the oven for 10-15 minutes or until just firm. Remove from oven and allow to cool before storing.

6) ENJOY!
