4) In a separate small bowl, whisk together the golden syrup and egg, then pour into the flour mixture.
5) Combine the ingredients until it starts to form a ball of dough.
6) Wrap the dough in a cling film and refrigerate for 30 minutes to rest.
7) Lightly flour a work surface and rolling pin and once your dough has chilled you can start rolling it out.
8) Roll it gently until it is quite thin about ½ cm thick and cut out whatever shapes you like.
9) Place the cookies onto a lined baking tray and bake in the pre-heated oven for 8 to 10 minutes, or until golden brown.
10) Remove from the oven and leave to cool on a wire rack.
FINALIZING
