01 Step
Recipe View
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Sift together the flour and baking soda in a medium bowl. (5 minutes)
02 Step
Recipe View
In a separate large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, vanilla sugar (or vanilla extract), and golden syrup until light and fluffy. (7 minutes)
03 Step
Recipe View
Gradually add the sifted flour mixture to the butter mixture, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. (3 minutes)
04 Step
Recipe View
Divide the dough in half. On a lightly floured surface, form each half into a 1-inch thick log, approximately the length of your baking sheet. (5 minutes)
05 Step
Recipe View
Place the logs onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving enough space between them as they will spread during baking. (2 minutes)
06 Step
Recipe View
Bake in the preheated oven until the logs are light golden brown and have flattened. Baking time will vary depending on whether you use margarine or butter. Margarine: 20-22 minutes. Butter: 13-15 minutes.
07 Step
Recipe View
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly on the baking sheet for about 3 minutes. While still warm, use a sharp knife to cut the logs diagonally into 1 to 2-inch strips to form individual cookies.
08 Step
Recipe View
Transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy!
For a richer flavor, use European-style butter with a higher fat content.
Vanilla sugar can be found in specialty baking stores or online. If unavailable, substitute with 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
The dough can be a little sticky, so lightly flour your hands and work surface when forming the logs.
Keep a close eye on the cookies during baking, as they can burn quickly. The edges should be golden brown, and the center should be set.
Store the cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
