Description
Okay, I know these cookies are never going to win the “best looking” award, but there’s no question they would definitely win the delicious-crispy-chewy-caramelized-yumminess category.
Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted Butter, Softened
- 1 cup Granulated Sugar
- 2 cups All-purpose Flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla Sugar (or Granulated Sugar), Up To Double This Amount If Desired For Sprinkling
- 2 Tablespoons Lyle’s Golden Syrup
Preparation
Preheat oven to 350 F. Prepare 2 half sheet pans by lining them with parchment or Silpat liners.
In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream together the butter and granulated sugar.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and vanilla sugar; add this into the stand mixer with the creamed butter/sugar mixture and mix to combine. Add the golden syrup and mix again, just until combined.
Divide dough into 4 equal portions. Roll each portion into a 12-inch log. Place two logs on each half sheet pan and flatten slightly. Bake for about 15 minutes, or until the logs spread and turn golden brown. Note: If desired, sprinkle each log with 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla sugar halfway through baking.
Remove from oven and allow the cookie logs cool before transferring to a cutting board. Using a serrated knife, cut each log in half lengthwise, then cut them width-wise every 1/2-inch or so.
