Cinnamon Cookies

MMMM I love these cookies but I don't make them all of the time as they take a little bit longer as you have to roll out the dough and cut them out etc. But they are pretty yummy so I thought I would share the recipe here.


135g butter chopped at room temp
1/2 cup caster sugar
1 egg yolk
2 cups plain flour
3 teaspoons cinnamon
1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
1/3 cup golden syrup


Beat butter and sugar together for 2-3 minutes until creamy. Add egg yolk, beating well.

Sift flour, cinnamon and bicarb soda together.

Warm syrup in microwave for about 20 seconds.

Fold flour mixture into butter mixture with syrup to form a dough.

Knead dough gently onto a lightly floured surface. Roll between 2 sheets of baking paper to about 0.5cm thick.

Use cutter to cut out shapes.

Bake in 180 degree oven for 10-15. Cool on trays. Sometimes we have them plain other times I decorate with icing and sprinkles as per the photos.

Enjoy : )
