Autumn Spice Sugar Cookies

Ingredients

1.	Cream together the butter, sugar and the vanilla seeds. Mix until the mixture is well combined
2.	Add in the egg, treacle and golden syrup and mix until combined
3.	Sift together the flour and spices, then add to the bowl a spoonful at a time with mixer on low speed
4.	Place dough onto cling film and flatted into a disk, then wrap tightly. Chill for 2 hours or until dough is firm
5.	Pre-heat oven to 180ºC / 350ºF / Gas Mark 4
6.	Roll out the dough on a well floured surface until about .5 cm thick
7.	Use your favourite cutter and place cut outs on a baking tray about a centimetre apart
8.	Bake for about 10-15 minutes depending on size, just until the edges start to colour
9.	Allow to fully cool on a cooling rack before decorating

The dough can be frozen for up to 3 months if wrapped well, as can the baked cookies to decorate at a later date
