Thank you! Just had a gluten free pancake fail and needed a sure thing. Love golden syrup and great to see a fantastic, old-fashioned recipe that uses butter and sugar too. I added sultanas.

I've used recipies from here before but I registered just so I can comment on how good these are. I had my doubts with no egg. But they came out perfect. Husband loves as well. I love baking but my cookies are always never right and these are perfect. Easy as pie too. Thanks!!!

This is a great recipe . Simple but the cookies are delicious. However, without a binding agent it is almost impossible to mould the mix into cookie shapes without it falling apart. I found that adding a single egg to the mix gives the ingredients something to stick to, making it far easier to make the shapes when placing on the tray. Also, we halved the sugar and added raisins! :)
