Crunchy Ginger Snaps (Similar To Arnotts Gingernut) - cooking recipe

Ingredients

250 g butter
2 cups caster sugar
8 teaspoons golden syrup
2 eggs, lightly beaten
4 cups self raising flour
10 teaspoons ground ginger
2 teaspoons bicarbonate of soda

Preparation

Preheat oven to 180C (350 F) or 170C if using gas or fan forced oven.
Cream the first three ingredients in a bowl.
In another bowl, combine the last four ingredients.
Mix together til combined, but don't overmix.
Bake teaspoonfuls on a greased tray for 10 mins, or until the entire biscuit is golden brown. If you only cook til it has golden edges you will get a chewy biscuit. It needs to be the same deep golden brown over the whole biscuit.
Cool for a couple of minutes on the tray, and then lift to a rack. Store when totally cool in an airtight container.
