During this time of the year I think hand or homemade gifts work well. While they might not be expensive, they’re made with love, which makes them priceless. These are quick and easy to make, they taste good, and they go well with a cup of tea or coffee.
SPICE BISCUITS
250 g butter/ 2.2 stick of butter
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 egg
1 tablespoon golden syrup
2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
2 teaspoons mixed spice
Beat the butter and sugar to a cream. Add the egg and the golden syrup, then mix in the dry ingredients. Roll balls about the size of a teaspoon and place on a cookie tray (greased). Flatten with a wet fork. Bake at 180C/350F for 12-15 minutes until they are golden brown. Cool on a wire rack. Store in an airtight container.
Shelley’s notes:
*These bicuits spread during cooking, so don’t put them too close together on the tray.
*This is a Jo Seagar recipe from her Easy-Peasy Summer Entertaining book
*This recipe makes 36 biscuits
Do you have a favorite biscuit (cookie) recipe that you make at this time of the year?

Sounds good! I made fudge and cherry chocolate clusters over the weekend. Trying to decide if I feel like making Christmas cutouts this year. Or more importantly, if I can find people to help me eat them!
