This is based on a recipe that was shown on TV3 by Bex Davies, originally airing about 8 or 9 years ago, and started out as gingerbread. Over time we have adapted it to suit ourselves, and it is now a firm favourite for the lunchboxes.
Cream DF butter and sugar, add golden syrup and vanilla essence.
Add the rest of the ingredients, and keep *mixing until it forms a ball.
* I use a cake mixer, I have done this in a food processor before but it is such a large recipe that it almost ruined my processor. If you don't have a cake mixer, then I would recommend halving the recipe and seeing how you go.
Roll out between two pieces of baking paper - you can make thick round biscuits, or if you roll it quite thin, then the kids can help with cookie cutters (like the picture).
Bake at 180oC for 10-12 minutes (depending on the thickness of your cookies).
Leave to cool on a wire rack.
You can make up to 40 cookies if you roll quite thin, otherwise about 30-35...
