Cream:
150 grams soft butter
and 1/2 cup each of white caster sugar and brown sugar.
When light and fluffy add 1 egg,
1/4 cup golden syrup,
mix well.
Sift into this:
2 1/2 cups plain flour, 1 teaspoon cinnamon,
1 teaspoon ground cloves
and 2 teaspoons of ground ginger.
(add another teaspoon if you prefer a stronger hit of ginger)
1 teaspoon baking soda, and a pinch of salt.
Mix into a dough.
Form small balls.
Boy this cookie dough is sooooo scrumptious....
I'm surprised there was any left to bake! :)
Roll the balls into white caster sugar. And press down with a fork.
Bake at 350 degrees Celsius
for 10-12 minutes until golden.
