Christmas Spice Cookies


It's that time of year again, and these Spice Cookies are a nice addition to the table.  They arn't particulary sweet which makes a nice change to a cookie, and when cooked properly have a crispy edge but a chewy soft centre. Yum!

Ingredients:
175g butter at room temperature
1c brown sugar, firmly packed
1/3c golden syrup
1 egg
2 1/4c plain flour
1tsp bi carb soda
2tsp mixed spice
1tsp ground nutmeg
1 tbl cinnamon sugar

Method:
1. Preheat the oven  to 180 celcius
2. Beat butter, sugar and syrup until pale and fluffy.  Add the egg and beat until combined.
3. Stir in the sifted flour, soda, spice and nutmeg.
4. Roll 2 heaped teaspoons of mixture into balls and place on a baking tray spacing them 5cm apart.  5. Press down slightly  (these cookies do not spread a great deal so if you want them flat you will have to flatten them this way)
6. Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar
7. Bake for 12 minutes, or until golden brown.  Allow to cool.

*Cookies can be kept for a week in an airtight container.
