Kathy Young shared this recipe with us years ago and it quickly became a staple for the Penzeys Christmas parties.
Ingredients
1 Cup butter (2 sticks), room temperature
1 Cup sugar
2 Cups flour
1 tsp. baking soda
2 tsp. VANILLA SUGAR (plus 2 more tsp. if desired)*
2 TB. Lyle’s Golden Syrup (or 1 TB. honey mixed with 1 TB. corn syrup, but it is best to find cane sugar syrup!)**
Directions
Preheat oven to 350°. Cream together the butter and sugar. Add the flour, baking soda, vanilla sugar and syrup and mix well. Divide the dough into 4 equal parts and roll each section of dough into 12-inch long logs. Place on ungreased cookie sheets, 2 logs per sheet, and bake at 350° for about 15 minutes, until golden brown. Slice diagonally while warm.
Prep. time: 5-8 minutes
Baking time: 15 minutes per sheet
Yield: 4 dozen
Cooks Notes
*Extra vanilla sugar can be sprinkled on the tops of the cookies halfway through baking once they have spread out, 1-2 tsp. per log.
**Lyle’s Golden Syrup is English pure cane sugar syrup, and is found by the other English jams and mint jelly and chutney and such. We had never used it before searching it out for this recipe (we found it at Fresh Market), and it’s wonderful!
