**Christmas Spice Cookies** are perfect for use with cookie cutters, and are Santa’s
favourite biscuits! We like doing a mix of Christmas shapes and icing them in white
chocolate writing fudge, but you can use any colours. Get the kids involved too,
if you’re up for a mess!

### Ingredients

 * 1 cup Plain flour
 * .5 cup Brown sugar-tightly packed
 * 1.5 tsp Cinnamon
 * .75 tsp Mixed spice
 * 80 grams Unsalted butter
 * .33 cup Golden Syrup
 * 1 packet White chocolate writing fudge

[[

### Directions

 * Line to baking trays with non-stick baking paper.
 * In a large bowl, sift flour, sugar and spices. Using your fingertips, rub the
   butter into the mixture until it looks like coarse breadcrumbs.
 * Add the golden syrup to the mix and combine to form a soft dough. Turn this mixture
   onto a lightly floured surface and knead for a few minutes until nice and smooth.
   Cover with plastic and chill for 30 minutes.
 * Preheat oven to 180 degrees or 160 fan forced.
 * Roll the dough out onto a floured surface using a rolling pin until it is about
   5mm thick. Use cookie cutters to cut shapes from the dough and place on the trays.
   Remember to allow for spreading during cooking.
 * Chill the shapes for 10 minutes in the fridge. Then bake for 10 minutes until
   pale and golden.
 * Cool while still on the trays and then store in an airtight container. Only decorate
   with the white chocolate writing fudge when fully cooled, just prior to serving.

### Notes

 * **Christmas Spice Cookies** are suitable to freeze for up to four months.
 * Great to leave out for Santa on Christmas Eve!
