Step 1

Cream the butter and sugar together in a large bowl or in the bowl of a stand mixer until light and fluffy. Add the egg and Lyle's golden syrup and combine.

Step 2

Add all other ingredients and mix together on low speed until well combined.

Step 3

Split dough in half and shape each half into a disc.

Step 4

Wrap in plastic wrap and chill in the freezer for 1 hour, or fridge for 2 hours.

Step 5

Once you are ready to bake the biscuits, preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F.

Step 6

Remove the dough discs from the fridge or freezer and unwrap. If using frozen dough, allow to thaw in the fridge for an hour or so.

Step 7

Roll the dough out until it is about 3-4mm thick. If the dough is too hard to roll out, leave it sitting for 10 minutes or so and then try again.

Step 8

Using Christmas biscuits cutters, or whatever shapes you want to, cut out the biscuits and lay them on a lined baking tray. Re-roll any scraps of dough to make more biscuits.

Step 9

Bake for 12-14 minutes, checking them at 12 minutes, until they are looking golden brown.

Step 10

They will harden slightly as they cool, but if you prefer a crispier cookie, bake them for a couple of minutes longer.

Step 11

Allow to cool on the tray for 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack. Allow to cool completely before decorating.

🍪 One cookie to rule them all…
During the visit to Comptoir, we came across a giant cookie that stopped us in our tracks. Think golden edges, gooey centre, and serious snack envy.

Light-as-air cream, golden pastry layers, and a dusting of sweetness – no wonder @comptoir_bakery trust Tate & Lyle Sugars to bring their bakes to life.
Matty certainly approves 👀
