Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 2 1/3 cups all purpose flour (350g)
  • 3/4 cup self raising flour (100g)
  • 1/2 cup sugar (125g)
  • 2 1/2 sticks butter (125g)
  • 1/2 cup molasses (125g, or golden syrup)
  • 1 egg (large, lightly beaten)
  • 1 tsp ginger (ground)
  • 2 tsp allspice
  • 1/2 tsp cloves (ground)
  • 2/3 cup green sanding sugar (100g)

Instruction

  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
  • Sift the flours together into a large mixing bowl of an electric mixer and add the sugar and spices. Add the butter and mix using a paddle attachment until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
  • Add the egg and molasses and mix until combined and the mixture starts to form into a ball.
  • Line your kitchen counter with non stick baking paper and turn out the mixture onto the paper.
  • Roll out the dough until approximately 5mm thick. If you don't have a wreath cookie cutter, like I didn't, use a fluted circular cookie cutter and then a shot glass to cut out the center of each cookie.
  • Once you have cut out the cookies, working one at a time, lightly moisten the top of the cookie with water and then sprinkle generously with the sanding sugar. Place on a baking tray lined with baking paper while you sugar the remaining cookies.
  • Bake for 14 minutes.
