heavenlycries@hotmail.comGingerbread CookiesIngredients (use vegan versions): 4 tablespoons margarine
1/2 cup raw sugar
1 egg equivalent (powdered replacement, mix according to packet instructions)
2 1/2 cups plain flour
1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
4 teaspoon ground ginger (I use around 6!!)
1 teaspoon ground cloves
2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
3 tablespoons golden syrup
Directions:Cream margarine and raw sugar, add egg replacement, mix. Add flour, soda and spices, then golden syrup. Mix well ( if you find that the mixture is a little dry, add 1/2 a tablespoon more golden syrup).
Roll mixture into teaspoon sized balls (or bigger if you like!), flatten slightly and place on cookie tray.
Bake for 10 minutes in a moderate oven.
Yummy hot or cold!
This cookies dough came out a little dry, but that wasn't necessarily a bad thing, because I wanted a dough I could use cookie cutters with. These were a bit spicier than I like, but my husband loves them.

these are pretty good cookies... its true, a bit strong. they also don't seem to rise, and the dough was a bit flakey (had to add water to make them less crumby) but pretty good! ill make them again!

ok, may be a dumb question, but what is golden syrup?
Archived comment by: lisamjac
Golden syrup is sugar syrup in GB. I suppose its what US people call corn syrup.

Golden syrup can be substituted with mollases it is actually the same process but the sugar is not cooked for as long.

I followed this recipe and the dough came out REALLY dry. I think a wet ingredient needs to be added to this recipe to make it come out correctly.
